place cursor in specific coordinates

Hi,
I have this problem on how to place the cursor in a text editor (for example: pico).

I made this script that would attach comments to a script file then open the script file,
I would like to know how to place the cursor in a specific place,
for example at the end of the comments,

here's part of the script:
Code:
echo " " > $sname
echo " " >> $sname
echo "#=================================================" >> $sname
echo "# $sname" >> $sname
echo "# $author" >> $sname
echo "# $date" >> $sname
echo "#=================================================" >> $sname
pico $sname		
#after this, I don't know how to place the cursor

maybe something that could also work for Vi and Emacs

thank you Smilie

KVNO(1) 						      General Commands Manual							   KVNO(1)

NAME
kvno - print key version numbers of Kerberos principals SYNOPSIS
kvno [-q] [-h] [-c ccache] [-e etype] service1 service2 ... DESCRIPTION
Kvno acquires a service ticket for the specified Kerberos principals and prints out the key version numbers of each. OPTIONS
-c ccache specifies the name of a credentials cache to use (if not the default) -e etype specifies the enctype which will be requested for the session key of all the services named on the command line. This is useful in certain backward compatibility situations. -q suppress printing -h prints a usage statement and exits -P specifies that the service1 service2 ... arguments are to be treated as services for which credentials should be acquired using constrained delegation. This option is only valid when used in conjunction with protocol transition. -S sname specifies that krb5_sname_to_principal() will be used to build principal names. If this flag is specified, the service1 service2 ... arguments are interpreted as hostnames (rather than principal names), and sname is interpreted as the service name. -U for_user specifies that protocol transition (S4U2Self) is to be used to acquire a ticket on behalf of for_user. If constrained delegation is not requested, the service name must match the credentials cache client principal. ENVIRONMENT
Kvno uses the following environment variable: KRB5CCNAME Location of the credentials (ticket) cache. FILES
/tmp/krb5cc_[uid] default location of the credentials cache ([uid] is the decimal UID of the user). SEE ALSO
kinit(1), kdestroy(1), krb5(3) KVNO(1)
