That's correct -- *assuming* that the current state is ruler
displayed (VA$NR==1), a safe assumption at startup (because it's the
default).

To elaborate: func NR is a 3-way toggle (a troggle?): no ruler -
ruler - horizontal line. The current state of the ruler is shown by
: 0=no ruler, 1=ruler, 2=line. Therefore, a reliable way to
set any of these three states -- regardless of the current state of
the ruler -- is (in pseudo code):

<>x>NR , substituting for "x" the desired
value, 0, 1, or 2. In real (DECODEable) code, to force a horizontal
line (==2):
