    Options/arguments:

         x         New x coordinate
         y         New y coordinate

    Note: Normally the start, continue (& increment, decrement) commands are
    entered as button presses on the mouse or digitizer cursor.  In these cases
    the input coordinates will be automatically supplied.  If the command has
    been entered from the keyboard without coordinate arguments, you will be
    prompted to enter a position with the cursor (mouse/digitizer).
