cursorPos = String Editor Cursor Description
The string editor allows you to take key presses from the user and use them to edit a string of text in a similar manner to a word processor. An overview of the string editor can be found in the String Editor section of the Keyboard Input Guide. This command returns the index into the string editor contents of the text insertion point where newly typed characters will appear. On the Macintosh, it is usually represented by a flashing vertical bar. A cursor index of 0 means at the beginning of the string, 1 is after the first character, 2 is after the second and so on. The index will therefore range from 0 to: String Length (String Editor Contents) ...inclusive. You can set the cursor position with Set String Editor Cursor.
