A textual region's drawing statements are distinct from the set of graphical drawing statements. The drawing statements for textual regions manipulate textual data only; for example:

move to column 10 line 16    # position text cursor

insert "hello"               # display text

If you use a graphical drawing statement in the contents of a textual region, or if you use a textual region drawing statement in the contents of a graphical object, ESL will report an error condition.
