[comp.sys.atari.st] Getting the ST cursor position

A-PIRARD@BLIULG11.BITNET (Andre' PIRARD) (09/13/88)

Dear Atari users,

A friend from the "Southern Belgium Fig Chapter" would like to make
an improvement to the version for the Atari ST of our Forth system.
For this, he needs know how to obtain the current cursor position on
the screen of a GEMDOS program whose filetype is .TOS or .TTP.
He has tried the VT52 cursor position report ESC n which did not work.
The method should of course not use any unreliable absolute address.

Please reply me personally, as I am not on the list.

BTW, anyone interested in this very useful and friendly Forth system
may drop me a line.

Thanks in advance.

AndrQ.
