Can AIX tell what line cursor is on ?

[Tison]

Is it possible in AIX to tell what line or column the cursor is on ?
OR
Is it possible to tell how many lines of data are displayed on a screen ?

I'm assuming you mean in a terminal or telnet window of some sort.

Yes.

For script use, try getting your information from "termdef"

[tt]ROWS=`termdef -l`
