Hmm, reading the help text for getmousepos() again, it looks like the
intention for "column" was to actually get the byte index of where the
mouse is. But it currently is set to the screen column. And then
it was limited to the number of bytes, which doesn't work. I fixed that
last problem, but that goes against what the help says.
I can change it to return the byte index, which will make it work for
you. It is not backwards compatible, but considering that it was not
returning the correct value, I doubt that someone depended on it.
