I can't reproduce this, so it's probably fixed as a side-effect of
some other change.

Confirmed. Please type `send-pr', and submit a PR for this.

The curses package is the closest equivalent. Unlike Borland, it's
terminal independent, thus a little more complex:
j@uriah 194% cat > foo.c
#include <curses.h>
int
main(void)
{
initscr();
move(9, 19);
addstr("I'm on line 10, column 20.");
move(LINES - 2, 0);
addstr("I'm in the line just below the bottom...");
refresh();
move(LINES - 1, 0);
endwin();
}
^D
j@uriah 195% cc foo.c -ltermcap -lcurses
j@uriah 196% ./a.out
...
This should suffice to look it up in the man pages.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
