"Won't you take me to... Chunky Town?"  Remember the song?   (Actually 
it was Funky Town.)  Now this is funkY:

I can't get the chunky thing to report correctly from inside a field.  
I'm trying to correctly track the cursor's position in a field.  The 
symptom is this: the selectedChunk returns the correct result if either 
the selection is changed (selectionChanged) or the arrow key is used -- 
multiple times.  However if you change the selection THEN use the arrow, 
it does not return the correct result, not until the second arrow 
press.  Am I doin' somethin' wronnng?

Here's the test code:

on tabKey
   put the selectedChunk
   pass tabKey
end tabKey

on selectionChanged
   put the selectedChunk && the selectedText && the selectedLoc
   pass selectionChanged
end selectionChanged

on arrowKey
   put the selectedChunk && "   "&& the selectedLoc
   pass arrowKey
end arrowKey

SelectedLoc seems to always be correct.  Can anyone help?  Kevin: is 
this a bugga-lug?  This is driving me crazy but I may have to change 
strategy if there's no work around.

PS It's great to see the list has 'cooled down' WRT pricing, twas 
gettin' a tad hot (and boring) in here. Back to code and fun things, 
oui?  I agree there are issues, but let's not put every newcomer off 
before their first try...
