10.0;curs (cursor_lock), revision 1.0, 88/03/17
curs (cursor_lock) control cursor positioning
usage:  curs [-on|-off]



DESCRIPTION
     curs controls whether a window is available for cursor positioning by the
     DM command tn (to_next_window), normally invoked by <NEXT WNDW>.  All
     windows initially default to curs -on, which permits the DM to move the
     cursor into all windows via the tn command.

     curs operates on a per-window, per-pane basis. For example, you may
     prevent the DM from moving the cursor to a transcript pad's pane while
     permitting it to move the cursor to the related input pad's pane.

     To set the window state, simply point to the appropriate window and issue
     the curs command.

OPTIONS
     If you do not specify an option, curs toggles the current mode.

     -on  Enable cursor positioning.

     -off Disable cursor positioning.

SEE ALSO
     More information is available.  Type the following at an Aegis shell
     prompt:

     help tn        For information on moving the cursor to various windows
