In QDOS/SMSQ/E the 'AT' keyword allows the print statement an imaginary y/x
character cursor location to be used. Is there away of knowing where this is as
a function?
for example:
10 AT 10,20 PRINT "FRED";
20 PRINT LOCX : remark this would return 24
30 PRINT LOCY: remark this would return 20
10 AT 10,20 PRINT "FRED"
20 PRINT LOCX : remark this would return 1 (or 0)
30 PRINT LOCY: remark this would return 11
I don't know of any extensions which contain functions like LOCX and LOCY. The
trap #3 call SD_CHENQ returns the cursor position in characters. It would
therefore be easy to produce the keywords LOCX and LOCY.

I had a quick look through my SBASIC/SuperBASIC Reference Manual and
can't find anything.
I am sure I wrote a small function (CURSOR_POSX and CURSOR_POSY) to get
at these values but which program I used it in, I can't think for the
life of me!.
