Mark

Key

CTRL+M

The Mark function moves the cursor to a mark or specific location, defines marks, and deletes marks. Note that you cannot set a mark at specific text in a PWB window such as Help; PWB marks only the window position.

If you want to save marks between sessions, assign a filename to the Markfile switch or use the Set Mark File command on the Search menu.
