You don't, but if your cursor is just a position in some well-defined order, you can sometimes craft a cursor out of a known position. Continuing the book metaphor, instead of skipping to page 100, which has no semantic meaning, you could skip to the beginning of the "M" section of the dictionary, or see the first 10 words after "merchant".
