Usually, x is the column, and y is the line.
(defun goto-xy (column line)
(interactive "nColumn:
nLine: ")
(let ((lines (count-lines (point-min) (point-max))))
(cond
((< line 0) (error "Cannot go before the beginning of buffer."))
((< line lines) (beginning-of-buffer) (forward-line line))
(t (end-of-buffer) (insert (make-string (- line lines) 10))))
(let ((columns (- (progn (end-of-line) (point))
(progn (beginning-of-line) (point)))))
(cond ((< column 0) (error "Cannot go before the beginning of line"))
((< column columns) (forward-char column))
(t (end-of-line) (insert (make-string (- column columns) 32)))))))
