RE: unknown SEU features (was RE: display only lines newer than ??/??/??)

GA:

AFAIK, the only way to control cursor positioning there is via field/prompt 
positioning. That is, the CX format positions the cursor at the control level 
break columns because those are positioned first.

In order to position at the op-code field, you'd need to position that prompt 
in your new format so that the line/position value of that field came before 
the line/position values of the control level break field, the indicator field 
and the factor 1 field. Although that's easy enough, I'm not sure the visual 
effect would be what you want.

Personally, if I did the same today, I'd create the prompt in CODE rather than 
SEU.
