SUMMARY
=======

When entering data, a user may click a field and end up placing the insertion
point into the middle of the field instead of the beginning. This article
describes a simple method a developer can use to ensure that the insertion point
is always placed at the far left of a data entry field anytime it is entered.

MORE INFORMATION
================

In the Click Event of the object where this functionality is desired, type the
following as a User Procedure:

     KEYBOARD '{HOME}'

This causes the insertion point (cursor) to always go to the far left upon entry
of this object.
