    The LPOS function returns the current position of the print head within the line printer buffer. It counts the number of printable characters printed since the last line feed. However, it may not reflect the physical position if the printer issues internal line feeds without informing the computer. The example shows using LPOS to check if more than 60 characters have been printed and issuing a carriage return if so.

    GW-BASIC User's Guide

    LPOS Function
    Purpose:
    To return the current position of the line printer print head within the line printer buffer.

    Syntax:
    LPOS(x)

    Comments:
    LPOS does not necessarily give the physical position of the print head.
    x is a dummy argument.
    If the printer has less than the 132 characters-per-line capability, it may issue internal line feeds
    and not inform the computer internal line printer buffer. If this has happened, the value returned
    by LPOS(x) may be incorrect. LPOS(x) simply counts the number of printable characters since
    the last line feed was issued.

    Examples:
    The following line causes a carriage return after the 60th character is printed on a line:
    100 IF LPOS(X)>60 THEN LPRINT CHR$(13)
