If
so,
this happened because the cursor
is
automatically moved one space to the
right after any character
is
printed. To enter characters vertically, the cursor must
be
repositioned both vertically and horizontally to compensate for the automatic
cu
rsor movement to the rig ht.
To print the
verticalline
of
the square, then, repeat the sequence of
CURSOR

CURSOR

times, and vou should have printed the right side
of
the square (Figure 5-3el.

Step 7: Draw the bottom line. Because

One method
is
to enter the line from right to left.
After

be
needed to correctly
position the cursor for the next entry.

A second, and possibly more naturaL method of drawing the bottom line
is
from left to right. To do this, position the cursor to the leftmost space of the bot-
tom line (one space to the right of the left edge of the screen); this can
be
done
using six
