I should be able to find this in the help files, but I can't, so I'm asking
here - what's the command to place the insertion point cursor on an editable
text sprite? I want to make Home and End respond properly instead of adding
weird rectangle characters. I know there's a way to do this, but I forgot
the name of the property...

You would set the text member's .selection property.

Home button:

member("membername").selection=[0,0]

End button:

totalChars=member("membername").text.char.count
member("membername").selection=[totalChars,totalChars]

Thanks, I knew it was something simple like that... Just couldn't for the
life of me remember the name of the property. (I was expecting it to
involve the words "Insert", or "Insertion Point", or "Cursor" or something
sensible like that.)
