No.
But you can use the 'FOR DISPLAYED record' that I mentioned, and 'FOR', 
to tell them where they are - 1-11/15, 5-15/15

Eg.
procedure postscroll
  begin
  let first = 0
  let last = 0
  let outof = 0
  for displayed record
   begin
   if (first=0)
    then let first = occurrence
   let last = occurrence
   end
  for record
   let outof = occurrence
  let posvalue = ascii(first)+"-"+ascii(last)+"/"+ascii(outof)
  display posvalue
  end

(rewritten from memory - excuse any bloopers)
