My understanding is that the %cursor macro defines where the cursor
will first appear when it enters the message composition pane of the
"Edit Mail Message" window. Of course, the cursor does initially
begin in the "To:" field of the addressing pane but if you press tab a
couple of times (depending upon how many of the address-fields you
have viewable (To:, CC:, BCC:, Subject: etc...) you should find that
when the cursor jumps into the composition pane it initially jumps to
the position specified by the %cursor macro rather than to the first
position in the first line which is what you might expect to happen if
you hadn't used a %cursor macro.
I'm not sure if it's possible to instruct TB! to make the cursor focus
initially in the composition pane (I assume you are opening an
edit-message window using some method that fills in the address-fields
automatically.) but in case no one else knows a suitable route to make
this happen simply press tab a couple of times at the beginning.
Hope this helps a little.
Cheers,
Mark
