[A83] Re: homescreen cursor location when ! is closed
The "location of the homescreen cursor" doesnt specifically coincide with
these edit memory locations, but instead an edit session uses them to keep
track of boundaries of the variable open for editing and the cursor location
within the edit buffer. Homescreen input is one form of this edit session
where the typed tokens go into the ! variable for temporary storage before it
is parsed. As for the memory locations of where the screen and cursor
position info is stored when an app or another context is run, I would guess
Command Shadow, but I'm not certain. Why do you need to know this
information? Perhaps a more knowledgable person of the topic will give his
insight when he gets to his Email sometime today. :)
