finding hte position in the field when backspaceKey hit

[Dar Scott]

This hander in the combo box scripts seems to provide the position before the character is actually removed.

on backspaceKey
   put the selectedChunk into field "log"
   pass backspaceKey
end backspaceKey

However, I have a feeling I don't really understand what you are doing.
