Here's a script that shows how to Get & Set the cursor position in a text field.
When you press the period key on your keyboard. A popup list opens.
After you make a choice, it adds it to the text field. And then automatically moves the cursor to the end of the text. It's one of my favorite R13 SDK additions.

self.AddButton(BUTTON, c4d.BFH_SCALE, name="Close")

if pos > 0 and text[pos-1]=='.' :
