I'm sure this is very simple to anyone other than me, or so
it would seem. Despite massaging READ with /TIMEOUT and
/PROMPT=escape_sequence I've been unable to come up with
a command procedure to determine the current cursor position.
From a program it's easy I know, however I have a customer
who'd like to do it in LOGIN.COM .
Has anyone had any experience doing this before ? BTW did
not put this in VMSnotes, somehow hack_file seemed far more
appropriate.
Thanks in advance,
John
