Hi Roger,
I'm not sure I properly understand your question.
here's a code snippet the moves the insertion point (in this sample,
typing an 'f' moves it forward, 'b' moves it back). (Note this also
works if there is some text selected - it moves the insertion to just
after the selection, just like the arrow key does).
on keydown p
local t
switch p
case "f"
put word 4 of the selectedchunk into t
select after char (t+1) of me
break
case "b"
put word 2 of the selectedchunk into t
select before char (t-1) of me
break
end switch
end keydown
To then delete the char in front of it, you'd do something like
put empty into char (t+1) of me
Hope that's close enough to what you were asking, or at least gives you
a starting place :-),
Alex.

I simply want to be able to move the insertion iBeam in a focused field left

dictionary was again of no use to me. Can someone please provide sample scripts?
Thanks,
Roger
