SET CURSOR FREE    (default)

  Enables free cursor motion, letting you move anywhere in a buffer and
  insert text whether characters are already there or not.

  Usage notes:

  o  With a free cursor, you can move left of the left margin (if the left
     margin is greater than 1), right of the right margin (and possibly out
     of view), or past the [End of file] marker (if the buffer is shorter
     than the current window).

  o  For example, if you are at the end of a line and press the right arrow,
     the cursor moves past the end of the line and you can put text there.
     By contrast, a bound cursor moves to the start of the next line.

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

  o  Free cursor motion is useful to create tables or other special layouts,
     because you can put the text anywhere in the buffer. If you move the
     cursor into an unused area of the buffer, such as to the right of the
     right margin, and enter text there, EVE puts in spaces or blank lines
     between your existing text and where you put the new text. In other
     words, EVE "pads" the gap with spaces or blank lines, which you can
     erase to close up the gap.

  o  To enable a bound cursor (as in EDT, WPS, and other editors), use SET
     CURSOR BOUND. Also, enabling the WPS keypad automatically sets the
     cursor to bound.

  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.

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

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