The right way to access this is through the script command 'show orientation'
You can then take the results and feed them back into the moveTo command
Be advised that the results may be many more than 4 numbers. Zoom &
translations are included. Currently it does not behave correctly when the
center of rotation has been shifted away from the default. I anticipate
that more parameters will be added to this in the future.
I strongly recommend that you consider it a text script that you can
subsequently execute.
Miguel
