What do people usually place on the first line of documents? Format commands! So answer your own question: put some formats on the first line, toggle into
any view other than eXPanded, command "JMP 2", type something (a carriage
return, for example), and see whether it is inserted at column (cursor
position) 2 or not.  Where is what you typed actually located?
(Find out in eXPanded view.)


No. I'm showing you how to position your cursor, FROM *any* position on line
zero among a bunch of hidden formats, TO column zero (i.e. to *true*
Top_of_File).
Robert, thanks for this. Fascinating stuff. It looks as
if you can "be" in one location (VA/NV $CX) in expanded
and another in draft, without moving your cursor. Which
makes sense, come to think of it.
