MARKPOSITION MARKPOSITION identifies a cursor position with a position number (from

0 to 99). The GOTOPOSITION command returns the cursor to any of the

100 positions.

What to Enter

{ MARKPOSITION | MAR } {

position-number

| * [+

| -

] }

position-number

| *

is either a whole number from 0 to 99 or an *, optionally, followed by a

positive or negative number.

Examples:

1. To mark a position in your file place the cursor at the place you want

marked and enter:

Command: MARKPOSITION 4

2. If you want the positions in your file numbered sequentially but don’t

want to keep track of what the last position number is, enter:

Command: MARKPOSITION *+1

You can also assign this to a function key. Thus, you would not have to type

it on the command line every time you want to mark a position; instead,

you would simply press the function key.
