How the heck am I supposed to use getyx()?

I've tried:

getyx(mywin, county, countx);

where i've set up a curses window, I can wprintw within the bounds of this
new window, and can move my cursor to a position relative to within this
window..  but how the heck to I get the current cursor position?

Any quick, super-fast and easy-to-type help (on your part i mean) would be
greatly appreciated. I've been banging my head against the monitor glass
all day.

Thanks,
