you can check where the cursor position in a field is with:

-> the selectedchunk

1. When there is no selection OR no field has the focus!
"the selectedchunk" will be EMPTY.


2. When there is some text selected it will return something like:

put the selectedchunk
-> char 2 to 10 of field 1

In this case you can decide if you want to overwrite the selection of  
not...


3. When there is NO text selected, but the cursor IS in a field, it  
will return:

put the selectedchunk
-> char 11 to 10 of field 1

Please not that in this case:

word 4 of the selectedchunk < word 5 of the selectedchunk

(HINT, HINT ;-)

In this case (3) you can do:

...
word 4 of the selectedchunk < word 5 of the selectedchunk
put word 4 of the selectedchunk into einfueg1
put word 5 of the selectedchunk into einfueg2
if einfueg1 < einfueg2 then
   put the label of btn "xyz" after char einfueg of fld "abc"
end if
...


So you can decide what and when to do within some if then statements :-)
