bah.... ok thanks.

I think that there should be at least a wrapper func called 
getCursorPosition or something.

Also, to insert text where the cursor is, it looks like I'm going to have to 
do something like this:
sequence text
atom pos
text = getText(myctrl)
pos = getIndex(myctrl)
setText(myctrl, text[1..pos] & "hello there" & text[pos+1..length(text)])

In my mind, when setSelectedText was called, if there wasn't anything 
selected it would insert text at the cursor position.
That seems to be more logical, rather than do nothing.
