[comp.sys.mac.misc] Where is the drawing cursor?

jal@pandora.cs.wayne.edu (Jason Leigh) (11/20/90)

Looks like once again I am in need of help in assembler.  I teach a course
in assembler that uses the Mac for their programs.  They have a final
project due and already I am getting some rather creative and
ambitious applications to write in assembler.  Anyway one of them requires
them to be able to know where the Mac's drawing cursor is.  They
know that the drawing cursor is automatically advanced after a string is
printed to the screen but they would like to know where it has advanced
to.

Any ideas? I.e. is there an a-line trap that can be called to invoke one
of the os' routines?

Thanx in advance.
