Wanted to overwrite some selected text in a field - so what is the number of
the character before the selection? Well that depends if the selection is
empty or not...

This is the function I ended up creating. Anyone know a better way? Does it
work cross platform (tested on a Mac)?

function charBeforeSelection
  put word 4 of the selectedChunk into startCharNum
  put word 2 of the selectedChunk into endCharNum
  if endCharNum > startCharNum then
    return startCharNum
  else
    return endCharNum - 1
  end if
end charBeforeSelection
