objects used in this example:
fld "list", which will have line selected
(NO multiple hilites, please ;-)
fld "to add", which holds the string to add :-)
can also be a variable, of course...
btn "insert", with one of these scripts:
1. to add a line before the selected line:
on mouseup
put the hilitedlines of fld "list" into hl
if hl = empty then exit mouseup
put fld "to add" & CR before line hl of fld "list"
end mouseUp
2. to add a line after the selected line:
on mouseup
put the hilitedlines of fld "list" into hl
if hl = empty then exit mouseup
put CR & fld "to add" after line hl of fld "list"
end mouseUp
Tested and works ;-)
You might want to use the alt-key to combine
these scripts a la:
if the altkey is down then
## before...
else
## after...
end if

with the user interface for line insertion conundrum, the most
intuitive approach seems to be mimicking a word processor.
that means trapping for mouseClicks before, on, or after the
(linked) text on a given line.
of course you need some spaces before and after
the text on each line.
you need to allow for a single mouseClick or a second
mouseClick bracketing a line.
then you can easily use the data to
copy, paste, or cut a line. all on an "Edit..." list button.
it gets really challenging if the contents of the lineS of text have to be adjusted relationally.
the satisfaction inbuilding a real editor,
however primitive, is enormous.
