Getting Started with DECTPU
2.6 Using OpenVMS EDIT/TPU Command Qualifiers
If you specify the /NOSECTION qualifier, DECTPU does not load a section file.
Unless you use the /COMMAND qualifier with /NOSECTION, DECTPU has no
user interface and no keys are defined. In this state, the only way to exit from
DECTPU is to press Ctrl/Y. Typically, you use /NOSECTION when you create
your own layered DECTPU application without EVE as a base.
2.6.14 /START_POSITION
/START_POSITION=(line,column)
/START_POSITION=(1,1) (default)
The /START_POSITION qualifier determines where the application layered on
DECTPU positions the cursor.
