The Read Cursor Position command allows the host to determine the cursor’s position on the
screen.
After receiving the Read Cursor Position command from the host, the TCS reports the vertical
and horizontal position of the cursor by responding with a string in the following format:
<ESC>[<P1>;<Pc>R
<P1> is a numeric parameter, designating a line number.
<P1> is a number between 1 and 24 (inclusive). It represents the relative line number of
the cursor. If the Origin Mode is set, line 1 is at the top of the scrolling region. If Origin
Mode is reset, line 1 is at the top of the screen.
<Pc> is a numeric parameter, designating a column number.
<Pc> is a number between 1 and 80 (inclusive) for normal lines or a number between 1
and 40 (inclusive) for double-width or double-size lines. It represents the character
column occupied by the cursor and properly takes into account double-width columns
which occur within double-size or double-width lines.
The format of this response string can be changed by the Reporting Format command, which is
discussed in detail in Chapter 4.

<ESC>[6n
This command requests the TCS to report the cursor position. If the cursor is located halfway
down and halfway across the screen on a normal line (not double-width or double-size), the
TCS responds with:
<ESC>[12,40R
NOTE
The report may differ from the above format if the Reporting Format command has been issued. Please
refer to the Reporting Format command description in Chapter 4 for details.
