How can I obtain the serial number of the column where the cursor resides using a script?

Let's say I select a cell in column 4
The following code only gets the specific column name, not the serial number of the column :4

dt=Open("$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp");

aaa=(dt<<get selected columns)[1];

Thanks!
