SelectedChunk

[Peter Brigham MD]

The selectedChunk gives the segment of text selected, in the form

   char <chartPosition> to <endPosition> of field <n>

If the selection is empty (insertion point only), the result is  
something like "char 5 to 4 of field 9" -- in this case to get the  
number of the word containing the insertion point, use:

   the number of words of char 1 to (word 4 of the selectedchunk) of  
field 9

If a run of text is selected then the above will get the number of the  
word containing the end of the selection.
