SET CURSOR BOUND

  Enables bound cursor motion, similar to that in EDT and WPS.

  Usage notes:

  o  A bound cursor cannot move into unused portions of the buffer (or
     "whitespace"). For example, if you are at the end of a line and press
     the right arrow, the cursor moves to the start of the next line.
     Conceptually, the cursor follows the shape or flow of your text.

  o  The cursor setting affects MOVE commands (arrow keys), NEXT SCREEN,
     PREV SCREEN, and some EDT and WPS keys.

  o  When you use SET CURSOR BOUND, if the cursor is in an unused portion of
     the buffer (sometimes called "whitespace"), EVE moves the cursor to the
     nearest text (an effect called "snapping").

  o  Default is SET CURSOR FREE---you can move the cursor anywhere in the
     buffer whether characters are already there or not.

  o  The setting applies in all your buffers. To save your setting for
     future editing sessions, use SAVE ATTRIBUTES to create a section file
     or to create or update a command file (see help on Attributes). Also,
     enabling the WPS keypad automatically sets the cursor to bound.

  o  On DECwindows, you can choose bound cursor as follows:

        1.  Choose Global Attributes from the Customize menu.
        2.  Click M1 on Set Cursor Bound in the dialog box.
