The Rom Kernel Manual contains all this and more.

Something like this (certainely needs little more work):
void gotoxy( char x0, char y0 )
{
  UBYTE temp[10];
  UBYTE y1,y2, x1,x2, *ptr;

    ptr = temp;
    *(ptr++) = 0x9b;
    y1=y0/10; y2=y0%10; x1=x0/10; x2=x0%10;
    *(ptr++)=y1+0x30; *(ptr++)=y2+0x30;
    *(ptr++)=0x3b;
    *(ptr++)=x1+0x30; *(ptr++)=x2+0x30;
    *(ptr++)=0x48;
    *(ptr)=0;
    WriteConsole( temp );  // or what you want: fprintf...
}
