In this document:

https://colorcomputerarchive.com/repo/Documents/Manuals/Operating%20Systems/OS-9%20Level%201%20(Tandy).pdf

At the very end, there is an addendum that talks about the SS.Cursr
get status call. It will return the X and Y position of the cursor.

I think it only works in true text modes.

To set the cursor position there should be documentation in the main
manual DISPLAY hex codes that will accomplish that.
