Subject: Re: how to set the cursor position in TextMorph


Hi Frank,
I think I'm getting the meaning of cursor wrong.
So basicly what I want to do is the following. I want to set the caret 
position in the textmorph using some smalltalk code instead of using the 
mouse.
As an example, assume I have the following text in a textmorph and | is 
the place my caret is currently at:

smallt|alk

Now I want to move the caret to another place like:
sm|alltalk

but not by clicking there, using some code instead.
Is this possible at all? Do I need to imitate firing an event (something 
like mouse down event)?
Thanks for any help.
