  CURSOR_HORIZONTAL

  Moves the cursor position left or right across the screen by the number of
  columns you specify.  This may move the cursor off the text in the buffer.
  CURSOR_HORIZONTAL allows free cursor motion.

  Syntax

     [integer2 := ] CURSOR_HORIZONTAL (integer1)

  Parameters

     integer1   The number of columns to move the cursor.  Positive values
                are to the right.  Negative values are to the left.

     integer2   The number of columns that the cursor actually moved.  If
                you specified a value that would have moved the cursor
                outside the window, CURSOR_HORIZONTAL moves the cursor as
                many columns as possible while keeping the cursor in the
                window.

  Example

     CURSOR_HORIZONTAL (+1);

  Moves the cursor position one screen column to the right.
