Usng tput cup to print to screen
HPUX 11.0.X / Korn Shell
Hope this makes sense.
I have a little function to place things on the screen using the column and row parameters. Question is, how can I be sure of where the current cursor postion is so that if I print something to the upper right hand corner of the screen, I can again return back to the row (really the next row) where the cursor was originally?
Example: Assume that my current cursor position is at row 52. I call my function to print a message starting at row 20, column 35. How can I return focus back to row 52 (or 53) after I have printed to the screen? Is there a way to grab my current row/column attributes?
xy () {
#_R= row, _C=column
_R=$1
_C=$2
tput cup $_R $_C
}

The numbers 0-9 are chosen to correspond to the numeric keypad on your terminal. Cdk does not handle the application mode keypad control
sequences, since those are not defined via terminfo. To use the numeric keypad you should ensure that it is in normal (or NumLock) mode.
