Hi Dan/Judith

you can use getIndex(RE) which returns an atom that tells you where the
insertion cursor is.

The next win32lib also has getSelection(RE) which retruns a two-element
sequence containing the character positions of the start and end of any
selected text.

These functions also work with MleText and EditText controls.

cheers
Derek.
