Cursor Wrap
The cursor control keys are located on the keyboard and
described in the keyboard sections. They move the cursor in
either the horizontal (left or right) or vertical (up or down)
direction on the display station screen. If you hold down the
control key that moves the cursor to the right, the cursor will
move off the right side of the face of the screen and will reappear
one line lower on the left side. This is called cursor wrap. In
effect, the cursor wraps around behind the screen. It also wraps
when moved to the left, and it will reappear one line higher on
the right side of the screen.
