How do you position the INPUT command???

I assigned a text string to the input command, and tried to position using (text x,y, $textstring) - but this does not position the text still.

text xtestpos,ytextpos-500, $test
input $test;name$

As the above - I need to position the input - but this code does not perform this. How can I manipulate the input to appear at position (x,y).

It seems so simple but I couldn't find anything in the documentation to help me. I know this is a simple one!!!

I've solved this one myself. It seems the documentation isn't all that clear in my opinion.

Though you can position the string\text - the INPUT command uses the CURSOR position - and this includes the specified string.

so I used

SET CURSOR X,Y

Which was confusing because the co-ordinates used for position text(TEXT X,Y, string) and cursors(SET CURSOR X,Y) are entirely different!!!!! arrrgh!

I'm assuming this is the best solution?
