Because you got UT for that :)

editbox.selstart is the current cursor position that you can use in editbox.keypress code.

For conversion of tabs into the other memo, you'd have to convert them one by one, starting from left, because each replace would change the position of the next one. Something like (offhand code - check me):

do while chr(9)$cText
   nPos=at(chr(9), ctext)
   cText=stuff(cText, nPos, 1, space(3-nPos%3))
enddo

That 3 there may need to be 2 or 4... needs testing.
