Hello. Can somebody explain me about using (point) function or some
equivalent in the term-mode buffers? :

emacs -Q

C-x 3
M-x ielm RET

C-x o
M-x term RET
RET (run /bin/bash by default)

C-c C-j (switch term to line mode)
C-x o (go back to ielm)

In the ielm:

(with-current-buffer "*terminal*"
     (term-char-mode) ;; actually line/char mode doesn't change anything
for this example
     (message "1: %s %s" (point) (term-current-column))
     (term-send-raw-string "asd")
     (message "2: %s %s" (point) (term-current-column))
     (term-send-left)
     (term-send-left)
     (message "3: %s %s" (point) (term-current-column))
     (term-send-right)
     (message "4: %s %s" (point) (term-current-column)))

All of the four messages gives me an equal numbers for point and
term-current-column, while point(or cursor) actually moves on the screen.
Is it possible and if possible -- how to track the input point movement in
a term-mode buffer ?
