The position of the
cursor on the
display screen. While in
text mode, a display screen is capable of displaying a certain number of lines and a certain number of
characters on each line. The cursor position is represented by the
line number and the
character number and signifies where the next character will be displayed. For example, cursor position 1,1 always indicates the upper-leftmost corner position on the
terminal. Cursor position 10,30 indicates the 30th character position on the 10th line.
