How about this:
If there is a %TO= macro then
if it contains %Cursor then
place cursor there
{continue by doing whatever is now being done in the header, and
once the body has been reached:}
if there is a free-standing %Cursor macro in the template
place the cursor at that position in the body
else
place the cursor at the beginning of the body
endif
else {this means we have a %TO macro that does not contain %Cursor}
if there is a %Cursor macro in the template then
place cursor at that position in the body {skip the header}
else
place cursor at the beginning of the body {skip the header}
endif
endif
else {this means there is no %TO macro and the TO field is still empty}
place the cursor in the TO field
endif
The cursor would end up in the header in two cases:
1.) It is instructed to do so by %Cursor command within the %TO macro.
2.) If there is no %TO macro. Regardless of whether there is a %CC=
macro, as the TO field has to be filled in, no way around that. This
should satisfy Steve.
If, OTOH, the TO field has already been filled in, the cursor would be
placed at where the %Cursor macro says. This is what I suggested.
