The control code, [CTRL][P]<Column #>[;]<Line #<[A], should be used
for cursor positioning to conserve memory when possible. For example,
[CTRL][P][3][9][;][9][A] uses 3 words of memory, storing CRTL P in one
byte and remaining characters in one byte each. If the cursor had been at
column 0, and line 0, normal space, and line feed commands were used, it
would have taken 24 words of memory to accomplish the same thing.
Note that the column and line numbers begin at zero rather than one.

The report generation function is entered by pressing
[RECORD][DISPLAY] on the standard 1770-KCB alphanumeric keytop
overlay. There are six report generation commands used to enter control
words and to store, print, report and delete messages and to display an
index of existing messages. Table 17.E summarizes these commands.
