have never used the '-nb={fname}' command line parameter, but the
'-nb:{hostname}:{addr}:{password}' works just fine on Windows.

You could use the Focus and Cursor autocommand events to report the
cursor position with the ':nbkey' command (the 'nbkey' command can be
used to send any text over the netbeans socket as a 'keyCommand' event
and as a 'keyAtPos' event). Buffer text changes are reported by
netbeans with the 'insert' and 'remove' events.
