Cursor Movement Commands
------------------------ 
The following prefix commands can precede any of the movement commands:
  Prefix   Description
  B        Move, but do not plot any points.
  N        Move, but return to original position when done.
 
The following commands specify movement in units. The default unit size
is one point; this unit size can be modified by the S command, which sets
the scale factor. If no argument is supplied, the cursor is moved one unit.
(S is described in "Angle, Color, and Scale-Factor Commands.")
 
Each of the movement commands initiates movement from the current
graphics position, which is usually the coordinate of the last
graphics point plotted with another graphics macro-language command.
The current position defaults to the center of the screen when a
program is run.
 
  Movement   Description
  U [n]      Move up n units.
  D [n]      Move down n units.
  L [n]      Move left n units.
  R [n]      Move right n units.
  E [n]      Move diagonally up and right n units.
  F [n]      Move diagonally down and right n units.
  G [n]      Move diagonally down and left n units.
  H [n]      Move diagonally up and left n units.
  M x,y      Move absolute or relative. If x is preceded by a plus
             (+) or minus (-), the movement is relative to the
             current point; that is, x and y are added to (or
             subtracted from) the coordinates of the current
             graphics position and connected with that position by
             a line.
 
             If no sign precedes x, the movement is absolute; that
             is, a line is drawn from the current cursor position to
             the point with coordinates x,y.


Angle, Color and Scale-Factor Commands
-------------------------------------- 
The following commands let you change the appearance of a drawing
by rotating it, changing colors, or scaling it:
 
  Command                     Description
  A  n                        Set angle of rotation n. The value of n
                              may range from 0 to 3, where 0 is 0 degrees,
                              1 is 90 degrees, 2 is 180 degrees, and
                              3 is 270 degrees.
                              Figures rotated 90 degrees or 270 degrees
                              are scaled so they appear the same size
                              using 0 degrees or 180 degrees on a
                              monitor screen with a standard screen
                              width-to-height ratio of 4/3.
 
  TA  n                       Turn an angle of n degrees; n must be
                              in the range -360 to 360. If n is
                              positive, rotation is counterclockwise;
                              if n is negative, rotation is clockwise.
                              The following example uses TA to draw
                              spokes:
 
                                SCREEN 1
                                FOR D=0 TO 360  STEP 10
                                   DRAW "TA="+VARPTR$(D)+"NU50"
                                NEXT D
 
  C n                         Set color to n. See the COLOR, PALETTE,
                              and SCREEN statements for discussions
                              of valid colors, numbers, and
                              attributes.
 
  S n                         Set scale factor n, which may range
                              from 1 to 255. The scale factor
                              multiplied by the distances given with
                              U, D, L, R, or relative M commands gives
                              the actual distance traveled.
 
  P paintcolor, bordercolor   The paintcolor is the paint color for a
                              figure's interior, while bordercolor is
                              the paint color for the figure's border.
                              Tile painting (painting an area with a
                              graphic pattern) is not supported in
                              DRAW.


X Substrings
------------
  Substring Command    Description
  X stringexpression   Execute substring. This command allows
                       you to execute a second substring from a
                       string. You may have one string expression
                       execute another, which executes a third, and
                       so on.
 
                       Numeric arguments can be constants like 123 or
                       variable names.
 
                       QuickBASIC requires the
 
                         "X" + VARPTR$(string-expression)
 
                       form of this command. This is different than
                       the BASICA form of the command.
