WCOL()

Syntax:     WCOL()

Returns:    A numeric value.
            The coordinates of the left hand column of the window.

Usage:      This function can be used to determine the current position
            of the left-hand column of the selected window.  This will
            allow you to save the position of a window that has been
            moved via the cursor keys.  Later, the window can be opened
            in the same position.

Note:       The return value may be negative.  The first column is
            actually located outside of the visible screen.

Library:    CT1.LIB
