How to control print position on Cache Terminal

#Microsoft Windows #Terminal #Caché

I am using the free Intersystems Cache installation (CachePCkit V2017.1)  on Windows 10 for my own use & personal development.
I am writing routines in Studio & running them in the Cache terminal TRM:3672 (TRYCACHE).
From a routine, how do I control print position within the terminal screen. I have tried using $X and $Y but this does not work and I cannot find what I need within the Cache terminal documentation.

Hope this question is not too simplistic for Members.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
