It does: Thanks for pointing that out as it made me look more closely at my code and work out that the cause of this was something else, which I have now rectified. Richmond.

Second stumbling block
Here's a right &*^%$# with *textField*s: I have thousands of scripts that go something a bit like this: *setthetextoftheselectedTexttonumToCodePoint**(107)* and when one is activated it pops the designated Unicode Glyph *INTO* the place in the text inwith a textField where the user has set the cursor . . . and THAT is *groovy* . . . BUT, then the cursor jumps to the end of the text line which is *extremely ungroovy* as I want it to remain straight after the glyph it has just inserted in the textField . . .
