It uses primitive 91, but that doesn't change the cursor position anymore:
(91 primitiveTestDisplayDepth)			"Blue Book: primitiveCursorLocPut"

You can do it with FFI calls. On windows it's:

setCursorPosX: x y: y

 	<apicall: bool 'SetCursorPos' (long long) module: 'user32.dll'>
 	^self externalCallFailed

Note that x and y are absolute values, not relative to the current window.
