then returns values to indicate the cursor's row and column position and cursor style.
Columns are numbered from left to right on the display.

testRow, testColumn = display.getcursor()
print(testRow, testColumn)
This example reads the cursor position
into local variables and prints them.

directly. In this example, the cursor is in
