Is there a mirror of the get_position() and position() functions for files?
I'm trying to print some text, and I can align it on the screen with those
functions, but there seem to be no alignment functions for files. Where()
and seek() won't be of much use in this case. Any help here is appreciated.
Thanks,
Derek Brown

No.
You will have to count the cursor positions of the data
as you output to the file. This can be SOMEWHAT trivial.
\n = 10 -- New line but DOS doesn't reset to far left
\r = 13 -- In DOS it resets to far Left but in UNIX
I don'tknow the results.
character 12 is Form Feed -- New page for printers and
tends to clear the screen in DOS. Unknown to me what
happens in UNIX. In most text editors I think it is
displayed as a funny P like character or it may signify
a new line.
GOOD LUCK.
