METHOD FOR CONSTRUCTING SELECTION CURSORS ON DEPENDENT WORKSTATIONS

A process for displaying cursor information for a plurality of dependent workstations from a remote processor or controller, including the steps of prestoring format tables for each dependent workstation in the controller or processor, processing cursor movement keystroke signals within the controller to define and selectively position the cursor for any dependent workstation when a cursor movement keystroke is made in that workstation, and commanding the dependent workstation to display either a selection cursor or a text cursor at the selected position.
