SYNOPSIS (C)

void pad_$locate(
ios_$id_t &stream_id,
short *x, *y,
char *byte,
status_$t *status)
SYNOPSIS (Pascal)
%include '/sys/ins/base.ins.pas';
%include '/sys/ins/pad.ins.pas';
procedure pad_$locate(
in stream_id: ios_$id_t;
out x, y: integer;
out byte: char;
out status: status_$t);
SYNOPSIS (FORTRAN)
%include '/sys/ins/base.ins.ftn'
%include '/sys/ins/pad.ins.ftn'
integer*4 status
integer*2 stream_id, x, y
character byte*1
call pad_$locate(stream_id, x, y, byte, status)
DESCRIPTION
Pad_$locate supplies a cursor position only when a raw character is
entered. If the pad is in raw mode, any keystroke will do, though input
via the Display Manager's ER command will also work while a pad is in
cooked mode.
The keyboard cursor must be within the pad open on stream_id.
X and y are divided by the current scale factors.
stream_id
The stream ID of the pad.
x The x-position of the input cursor.
y The y-position of the input cursor.
byte Value of the key pressed.
status
The completion status.
