There is also a field in the textEdit record called teCarLoop which can be replaced with a pointer to a routine to draw the caret. Given this, it should be possible to do some trap patching and fooling around so that a function key or cdev could control the caret. If someone doesn't take this up I may have to do it, just to see if it can be done. -- Brian L.
