Is there any way to progammatically position the insertion point within a
panel text item?  It's easy to move the caret (aka insertion point) to
other text items via PANEL_CARET_ITEM and panel_{backup,advance}_caret,
but I can't find a way to set the caret at, say, the 5th character
position.

Any ideas?

Alternatively, anyone know of a way to support multiline text input items
within a panel?  I don't want a whole textedit window, just something with
three lines that wraps around and nice stuff like that.
