[net.emacs] What line of the screen?

dan@fluke.UUCP (Dan Everhart) (01/02/85)

This one has really got me stumped....

What I need is a way to determine (from mlisp) which line of the screen the
cursor is on.  Note that I don't mean which line of the file (that can be
determined from (current-column)), but the physical line on the terminal
screen where the cursor rests.

In other words, if this hypothetical function was called
"current-screen-line", then the following expression would be a no-op:
(dot-to-x-y (current-column) (current-screen-line))

Please send your brilliant solutions by mail.  I am grateful.
