Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     The settextposition subroutine relocates the current text position
     to the display point (<row>, <column>). The outtext function (and
     standard console I/O routines, such as WRITE) print text at that
     point.
 
     The text position given by the coordinates (1,1) is defined as the
     upper left corner of the text window.
 
     The previous text position is returned in the <rcpos> parameter, an
     rccoord structure.
 
     WARNING  The WRITE statement sends its carriage-return and line-
     feed characters to the screen at the beginning of the first I/O
     statement following the WRITE statement. This can cause unpredict-
     able text positioning if you mix the graphics routines settext-
     position and outtext with the WRITE statement.
 
     Return Value
 
     None.
