Cursor positioning
Apart from the cursor address code (16 dec. or 10H), this function also
requires X and Y addresses to position the cursor. Add an offset of 32
dec. or 20H to both addresses. If either of the addresses is incorrect, the
cursor is not moved. The address ranges for modes 8 x 40 and 4 x 20 are
correspondingly different:
