How do I get the current cursor position in the Kixtart console window?

Constraints: I will not know the title of the console window and I cannot keep track of the cursor positions.

I will need the position of the cursor after an arbitrary output.

Does somebody have any idea?

Sorry, had to vent. After all, I can't with my users. They're always right, you know.

Seriously though, I haven't a clue. But sounds like a good topic for the Suggestion forum. At the least this will bubble this thread back to the top.

A function to set the cursor position
A macro to get the cursor position
A function to scrape the screen (get character at position x,y)
The ability to control scrolling (scroll-lock)

Then again, the ability to do some of this on a GUI MessageBox() would be cool as well.

I haven't done any of that sort of coding since the late 80's but my memory's starting to trickle back in fragments.
