**XY x y**

**XY x,y**

The two syntaxes shown above, identical except for the space versus comma, both position the cursor on the screen at position x,y. This is the equivalent of the ASB statement ? tab(x,y).

**XY = m**

The above syntax is the equivalent of the ASB statement ? tab(-1,m).

**XY -n m**

**XY -n,m**

The above syntax is equivalent to the ASB statement ? tab(-n,m).
