No, I mean the little edit box that appears on XP.  I don't know what happens 
on win7 or vista, but on xp, this little script, attached to a hot key, will 
select the characters before the last . in a file name which is selected for 
rename in xp:

local hwnd=win.getfocus
local text=win.gettext(hwnd)
local EM_SETSEL=0x00B1

// win.debug(win.hex(hwnd), text)  // uncomment for debug output

local dot=revfind(text, ".")
if (dot>=1)
win.sendmessage(hwnd, EM_SETSEL, 0, dot)
