The original theory behind omitting R and S from the cursorpos command set
was that they are only a one-level stack, and LISP sometimes uses (or used to use)
them, and if LISP did then it woulld screw whatever the user was doing.
You can always get the effect (somewhat less efficiently (?)) by just
readin the cursor position yourself and then restoreing it.
