Pen mode. A method of positioning the screen cursor. Wherever you place your pen on the interactive pen
display, the screen cursor will jump to the corresponding point on the screen. This is known as absolute
positioning, and is the default setting for the pen. Also, pen mode allows you to quickly position the screen
cursor without having to first find it and then move it across the desktop. See also
