I'm writing an application that selects text (using TextEdit) from
the keyboard (e.g. select word,sentence, ...)  There doesn't seem to
be any way of extending a selection without calling TEClick.  Is
this correct?  The only solution I could come up with was to call TEClick
(passing TRUE for extending selection) with the proper point.  I thought
TEGetPoint would convert my offset into the proper point but it doesn't!
When I call TEClick(TEGetPoint(myoffset,macTE),TRUE,macTE) it actually
gets a click at the right horizontal position but the vertical position
is off by a line Ends up in next line).  This is really a hack I'd much rather
have an extend selection function.

Anyone have any help?

Thanks
