when there is nothing selected, the selStart is the same as the selEnd AND
it IS the current cursor position! thus you would set first get the current
position by getting either the selStart or selEnd and putting it into a
temporary variable like pCurrentCursorPosition. then set the selStart to 1
and the selEnd to pCurrentCursorPosition.
