This is an Amiga programming question: (I have asked locally but no one had an
answer so I decided to try asking the rest of the world)

Does anyone have a working example of how to get the Console device to report
the current cursor position to you?  I have tried many times, following
different tidbits of information but have never been successful.  

I got so discouraged that I wrote some code to get a pointer to the Window
structure of the AmigaDOS, wrote some code to handle graphics text with a
GetXY and a GotoXY that accepted text-cursor locations instead of pixel
locations, and started doing graphics into the AmigaDOS window.

I would really like to be doing this via the Console device, however.  So, If
anyone has working code that will make the Console device report the current
cursor position, I would be very interested in seeing it!
Any language will do, though I would prefer Forth, Assembler, or C.

Thanks,
