Summary
 Turns cursor tracking on or off. When tracking is on, the window will automatically scroll and pan around to follow the text cursor as it moves around the page or in the edit bar.
Example extract

Simple tracking of the cursor position (ttrack 1) around the document window is offered by selecting [Edit/Auto-scroll]. Extended tracking, with a change to the correct page, is useful in many circumstances, such as after a search. The example below shows how to specify extended tracking:

 ttrack 3

Syntax (SVNNA)
ttrack Ø:i  toggle:i? (   switch:n?  )
Ø:i

Used without any parameters, ttrack performs a one-off track of the current cursor position and changes what is shown in the work area to reflect the current cursor position. If the text cursor is on a page other than the one shown in the document window, Arbortext APP will move to that page. The current tracking mode is not affected.
toggle:i
^  Optional toggle which should be followed by a switch setting.
0  Tracking off.
1  Tracking on – follow the text cursor as it moves around the document window.
2  Tracking on – move to correct page, effectively following the text cursor position in the edit bar.
3  Tracking on – levels 1 and 2 combined.
4  One-off track of the current cursor position by following the text cursor as it moves around the document window.
8  One-off track of the current cursor position by moving to the correct page only without panning around the document window. This effectively follows the text cursor's position in the edit bar.
12  One-off tracking – levels 4 and 8 combined.
switch:n
0  Tracking off.
1  Tracking on – follow the text cursor as it moves around the document window.
2  Tracking on – move to correct page, effectively following the text cursor position in the edit bar.
3  Tracking on – levels 1 and 2 combined.
4  One-off track of the current cursor position by following the text cursor as it moves around the document window.
8  One-off track of the current cursor position by moving to the correct page only without panning around the document window. This effectively follows the text cursor's position in the edit bar.
12  One-off tracking – levels 4 and 8 combined.

Tracking can also follow the cursor when it moves to a page that is not currently displayed on the screen.
You should be aware that ttrack (or any of the modes which enable page tracking) will not have any effect or may even be unreliable, if the text within which the cursor is positioned is not displayed on any page; or if the page has not recently been formatted, ttrack may take you to the nearest page for which it has information.
