Hello,

What about "select after fld "F1" ?

on openCard
put "We" into fld "F1"
-- focus on fld "F1"  -- redondant in fact because "select after fld  
"F1" is focusing on fld "F1"
select after fld "F1"
end openCard

   get offset("I", fld "F1")
   select after char it of fld "F1"
or
find "I" in fld "F1"
select after the foundText
find empty

hope that helps
