Toggles switch to enable or disable cursor positioning; it is enabled initially.

Syntax

CP

Operation

If cursor positioning is inhibited the effect is limited to the current context and is re-enabled on exit from the program; that is, when returned to TCL or exiting from a context.

Comment

If cursor positioning is inhibited it is easier to see the linear progression of the debug flow as the cursor is not suddenly repositioned earlier in the screen.

It can also be used to debug incorrect control sequences. If cursor positioning is inhibited a PRINT of a cursor control string does not move the cursor but outputs the sequence with any ESC chars changed to [ chars, and any non-printable characters replaced by a period.
