Hi Leon,
Look at this script which is working, I used the selEnd and selStart
properties to get the cursor position. Hope this helps you.
on shiftHome me
pCursorPos = the selEnd
the selStart = 0
the selEnd = pCursorPos
end
on shiftEnd me
if the selection <> EMPTY then
pCursorPos = the selStart
else
pCursorPos = the selEnd
end if
the selStart = pCursorPos
the selEnd = field("field name").length
end
best regards

Say, for example, a user has scrolled to the 5th char in a 20 char word
using the arrow keys. By pressing SHIFT+HOME the 5 chars preceding the
cursor should be selected. I will set the selStart to 1 but how can I set
the selEnd - I need something like theCurrentCursorPosition. Equally, in
the above situation, pressing SHIFT+END would select the 15 chars after the
cursor position. Again, I can set the selEnd to the last char of the line,
but how do I set the selStart.
