But it would work, because Douglas wrote that it is a single line field.
Ah. I just assumed it was a bit of mistyping and should have been
"single line of a field"

select after
And if you have a multiline field and would like to go to the end of the
current line use this:
on rawKeyDown theKey
if theKey = 65367 then
put word 2 of the selectedLine of me into tLine
select after line tLine of me
else
pass rawKeyDown
end if
end rawKeyDown

or to improve your 2nd suggestion..
select after fld 1
would do the same. ;)

off the top of my head, select char -1 to -1 of the focusedObject (or me if in
the script of the field itself). Trouble is I am trying this in the field
script itself and it doesn’t work, but if I enter select char -1 to -1 of field
7 in the message box it DOES work.

Douglas,
you can use
select after line x of fld y
for this.
For example to place the cursor after line 3 of fld "text" you would write
select after line 3 of fld "text"

I need to position the cursor at the end of the contents of a single line
field. This can be "manually" done by pressing the "END" key while the
cursor is in that field. I want to do that positioning programmatically...

I've searched all of the "...KeyDown" message options (e.g. commandK
