Malcolm,
Sounds like this thread replicates your previous question.
I replicate too in case someoe searches:)

*Form.load && DLL, lib declarations
declare short GetCaretPos in win32API string @ lpPoint
declare short ClientToScreen in win32Api integer hWnd, string @ lpPoint
declare SetCursorPos in win32API integer X, integer Y
set library to home()+'foxtools.fll' additive

*Where you need the follower - keypress, interactivechange etc
Local lpPos, lnWHND, lnX,lnY,lnScreenX,lnScreenY
Store 0 to lnX,lnY,lnScreenX,lnScreenY
lpPos = space(8)
lnHWND =  _WhToHwnd(_WOnTop())

GetCaretPos(@lpPos) && Get text insertion point coordinates - in terms of form
For ix=1 to 8   && Decode 2 long values (X and Y)
  If ix<5
    lnX = lnX + asc(substr(lpPos,ix))*256^(ix-1)
  Else
    lnY = lnY + asc(substr(lpPos,ix))*256^(ix-5)
  Endif
Endfor
ClientToScreen(lnHWND, @ lpPos) && Convert client coords to screen coords
For ix=1 to 8
  If ix<5
    lnScreenX = lnScreenX + asc(substr(lpPos,ix))*256^(ix-1)
  Else
    lnScreenY = lnScreenY + asc(substr(lpPos,ix))*256^(ix-5)
  Endif
Endfor
SetCursorPos(lnScreenX,lnScreenY) && Set mouse pos to coords
Set message to 'CurX:'+trans(lnX)+'   CurY:'+trans(lnY) && Line-Col in statbar
