Thanks Kevin for your (always) wise insight. Also really enjoyed the Real Basic comparison from an earlier e-mail, seems so *difficult* to emulate simple Rev/HCard behavior! Glad we've got a truly powerful environment. Now to my simple question, if anyone can help:

I'm trying to get the current cursor position. The selectionChanged doesn't get sent with arrow keys nor when you type additional characters at the end of a line. So how do you truly find where the selection and/or the cursor is: a selected chunk, at the end of a line (additional typing) or arrowing through the selection. Am I glossing over an important function (I've studied that manual!)?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

PS Tried the rawKeyUp, thanks Kevin: didn't work. I guess I could try and calculate the position by constantly getting the text of the field but that doesn't seem very elegant. Thanks again.

This is a feature: its an interaction with the order of the messages. The
selectionChanged message is sent after the selection changes, but the
arrowKey message before. So you need to trap the rawKeyUp message to solve
your problem.
