- I've never used the ESC sequence method of getting cursor position
- reports in the read stream. You don't say if you're in the CLI window
- or in an Intuition window with a console.device. This example shows
- (among other things) how to get the pointer to the ConUnit structure
- of the CLI window using a DiskInfo packet. The ConUnit structure
- contains lots of neat things, including current and maximum cursor
- character positions.
-
- If you're in an Intuition window with a console device attached,
- you should be able to find the ConUnit pointer in YourIoRequest->io_Unit.
