Selecting the end of the text in a field

The event object has a selStart and a selEnd properties that give the position of the selection on a keystroke, but I don't think they can be used for what you describe. You can give it a try, though.

This is a tricky one. You'll need a custom keystroke script on the destination field, all the data you need to allow the user to just start typing is there. First though, you'll need to add code to the script that runs "setFocus" to also set a document level variable so the keystroke script can detect the situation where it needs to restore the field value. The keystroke script then uses the "event.value" property to restore the previous field data when the user types the first character.

something like this:

if(bRestoreData)
event.change = event.value + event.change;

To be more complete you could use the event.selStart and event.selEnd to do an exact restoration.
