Having made a jazzy cursor for my text field I am wondering if there is

The problem is this:
The user is jigging back and forth between the textField in the Livecode
stack and some other app, and every time they come back to the stack the
cursor has moved.
You can use the selectedloc to find where the insertion point is. But
the cursor is never supposed to be controlled by an app, it is
independent of any particular program and should always be under the
user's control. I don't know of any other app that sets the cursor for
the user that way. I wouldn't do it if I were you, it breaks all HIGs
on all OSs.
Thank you! That's great: it is just what I need as "ammunition" against
someone who
doesn't quite understand that the CURSOR should NOT play the same role
as the INSERTION
POINT.
