CURSOR PREFERENCES
Text cursor style
Controls how the text cursor is displayed, as an I - beam or as a
box. Does not affect how the cursor functions.
I - beam cursor Box cursor
Cursor movement
Determines how the cursor moves:
By pixels
The cursor moves in 1-pixel (fine) or 10-pixel (coarse)
increments. The status bar displays current dot and line
position with the origin at the top left corner. The number of
pixels on the full screen depends on the video standard:
720x486 for NTSC or 720x576 for PAL.
By screen units
The cursor moves in screen units. Increments are independent
of the current video standard, and equal either 1/500 (fine) or
1/50 (coarse) of screen height. The status bar displays current
x and y coordinates, with the origin at the center of the screen.
To select “coarse” or “fine”, choose Transform/Coarse or Fine
(Ctrl+spacebar) from the Options menu.
Show text cursor
Shows or hides the text cursor.
Moving cursor sets font and look
Automatically changes the current style, whenever you move the
text cursor, to reflect the style of the character to the left of the
cursor.
