TinyTERM 4.53 includes two CScript commands that will get the current cursor position: te.GetCaretRow() and te.GetCaretCol(). Each returns an integer that gives the position of the cursor relative to the upper left corner of the TinyTERM window. Both commands can be used in earlier versions of TinyTERM 4.x, but only for the TN3270 emulation.

There is no command in TERM or TinyTERM that will set the current cursor position, as understood by the host system. Century Software, Inc., has received requests for a script command to do this, but that has not yet been implemented.

CR 269, get cursor position
CR 526, set cursor position
