You can save the insertion point (i.e. the selectedchunk) when you leave
the second field, and then provide a handler to insert text at that
saved point; and of course call that handler when needed
e.g. in your "second field, have
local sChunk
on exitfield
put the selectedchunk into sChunk
put schunk &CR after msg
end exitfield
on closefield
put the selectedchunk into sChunk
put schunk &CR after msg
end closefield
on acceptText pText
do "put" && pText && "into" && sChunk
put "accepted" && schunk & Cr after msg
end acceptText
and in the other field have something like
ON selectionchanged
local tmp
put "here" &Cr after msg
put the mousetext into tmp
dispatch "accepttext" to fld 2 with tmp
put "disp" && it && the result &Cr after msg
end selectionchanged

I have 2 fields, the first from which I take the mouseText, the second into
which I place that text. Trouble is, I want the placed text to be at the
insertion point I had before clicking outside that field.
Can someone suggest a way to preserve the insertion point in a field as one
clicks into another field?
I appreciate any help
