I think you need to read more carefully Mark.  The first couple of lines
of the procedure were:

    set pos [getPos]
    if {[pos::compare $pos == [minPos]]} {return}

So, if pos = 0, the procedure returns, and never gets to the code above.

Perhaps you could *actually test* the code before saying it has bugs?

Really.  First you suggested keeping the cursor position fixed, and then
you presented a procedure which moved it (with the convenient option for
the user to edit the procedure if they wanted a different behaviour)!
That strikes me as adding another preference (or shall we have no
preferences at all and simply tell all users to 'edit procedures').

Vince.

damn, I thought I was dropping out of this thread.
