| Description:
|
The system variable named CURPOS$ contains the position of the
cursor at the last data transmission from the video device. The
value is a two-byte hex string containing the cursor position in
the form "@YYXX@" where "YY" represents the row and "XX"
represents the column plus 1. (The minimum column value is 1 and
the maximum is 64, 80, or 132, depending on the screen setting.
To arrive at the actual cursor position, you must subtract 1 from
the column value.)
The CURPOS$ string must be converted as follows to achieve the
cursor position in decimal:
LENGTH 2 & LOCAL A$ ! Receiving variable for CURPOS$
LENGTH 2.0 & LOCAL X,Y ! Numeric variables for row, column
.
.
.
A$ = CURPOS$ ! Contents of A$ will be @YYXX@
Y = HEXDEC(SUB(A$,1,1)) ! Row value (decimal)
X = HEXDEC(SUB(A$,2,1)) - 1 ! Column value (decimal)
