The current cursor position is in the viminfo file (if your 'viminfo' 
option is properly set) for all files in the history, and there are 
autocommands somewhere in the vimrc_example.vim to restore it whenever a 
file is opened. If you source the latter you should already have them.

Check
	:help 'viminfo'
	:view $VIMRUNTIME/vimrc_example.vim
