The '''CSRLIN''' function returns the current text row position of the [[PRINT]] cursor.



::::::::{{PageSyntax}} row% = CSRLIN


{{PageDescription}}
*  The value returned is within the range of 1 to the current number of rows in the [[SCREEN]] mode used.
*  In screen modes that support page flipping, the [[CSRLIN]] function returns the vertical coordinate of the cursor on the active page.
* x = [[POS]](0) returns the column location of the cursor.


''Example:'' A semicolon stops the print cursor immediately after the print.
{{CodeStart}} '' ''
  LOCATE 5, 5: PRINT &quot;HELLO &quot;;
  Y = {{Cl|CSRLIN}} 'save the row
  X = {{Cl|POS}}(0) 'save the column  
  LOCATE 10, 10: PRINT &quot;WORLD&quot;
  LOCATE Y, X 'restore saved position
  PRINT &quot;GOODBYE&quot; '' ''

         WORLD


{{OutputEnd}}
:''Explanation:'' &quot;HELLO &quot; is printed and the semicolon stops the cursor immediately after the text. The '''CSRLIN''' variable records the current print cursor's text row in Y. The [[POS]] function records the current print cursor's text column in X. The second [[PRINT]] statement displays the comment &quot;WORLD&quot; on the 10th line of the screen. The last [[LOCATE]] statement restores the position of the cursor to the original line and column immediately after the first print.
