Thanks Jacque, as I didn't think anything had been selected, I never thought of
'the selection'. In fact the LC dictionary says

Which doesn't seem to accord with a flashing cursor in a text string and
nothing highlighted, i.e. nothing selected - but there it is.
I thought it was under "selection" but it turns out the explanation is
under "selectedChunk":
"If no text is selected but the text insertion point is in a field, the
startChar is the character after the insertion point, and the endChar is
the character before the insertion point. In this case, the endChar is
one less than the startChar."
I think it should be in both places. "Selection" is easier to work with
than parsing the selectedChunk and putting new text after word 2 of it.
