Inserting a character (LC 7.0.1)

[Graham Samuel]

Thanks Jacque, as I didn't think anything had been selected, I never thought of 'the selection'. In fact the LC dictionary says

> The selection is a reference to the currently selected text.

Which doesn't seem to accord with a flashing cursor in a text string and nothing highlighted, i.e. nothing selected - but there it is.

Thanks again - I can move on.
