I use the ConUnit instead.  In your console device IORequest structure,
after you do OpenDevice, there will be an io_Unit pointer which is
a pointer to a struct ConUnit.  WARNING - ConUnit structure is
READ ONLY.  Some REAL handy things to read out of the ConUnit structure
are:

cu_XMax and cu_YMax	- the max X/Y character (not pixel) positions
			  (ie. like 80 x 25)
cu_XCP and cu_YCP	- the current cursor X/Y charactor position
