POINT {(number%) | (x%,y%)}
 
    ■ (number%)   A numeric expression with an integer value between
                  0 and 3; specifies the current graphics cursor coordinate
                  that is to be returned:
                    0 = viewport x coordinate    2 = window x coordinate
                    1 = viewport y coordinate    3 = window y coordinate
    ■ (x%,y%)     The viewport coordinates of pixel being evaluated.
 
    ■ If no WINDOW statement has been executed, the window coordinates that
      are returned are the same value as the viewport coordinates.
    ■ If no VIEW statement has been executed, the viewport coordinates that
      are returned are absolute screen coordinates.
 
Returns
    The current horizontal or vertical position of the graphics cursor,
    or the color of a specified pixel in the viewport.
