tell application "BBEdit"
tell window 1
-- get the selection of the top window's active document
set oldOffset to characterOffset of selection
-- prompt for the new offset, providing the current offset as
the default
display dialog "Move cursor to:" default answer oldOffset
-- get the result; if it can't be represented as a number, use
the old offset
try
set newOffset to text returned of result as number
on error
set newOffset to oldOffset - 1
end try
-- the tricky part: set the selection
select insertion point after character (newOffset)
end tell
end tell
