If the student issues the command to know the cursor position, this will say 
where the cursor is, and therefore tell the person how much the student has 
written.  On the BT, the command is SPACE with dots 1-5-6, but I don't know the 
QT command.  If this command is issued, the response will be something like 
"Page 1 Line 6 Column 37".  This means that the student has filled up 3 full 
lines on the first page and is toward the end of the fourth line (using the 
Braille document default Page Setting of 40 columns per line).  If the cursor 
said something like "Page 11 Line 3 Column 5", this would mean the student has 
written 10 full pages and has just started the 11th.  Hope this helps.
