# MOVETO

> [HTML Version](moveto_pd.htm)

**//MOVETO, x, y**

MOVETO positions the internal cursor to the specified point relative to the current mapping mode (see [SETMAPMODE](setmapmode_pd.md)). The parameter _x _specifies the starting horizontal position and _y_ the starting vertical position, both using the current mapping units.

Its only effect will be on subsequent operations (e.g. [LINETO](lineto_pd.md)) and subsequent text that is not part of an explicit GDI directive.

MOVETO may also be used to disable A-Shell's auto-page break. A single //MOVETO,0,0 anywhere on each page tells A-Shell to turn off its line-counting logic.
