I did scan for something similar...

I try not to be pedantic, but surely CurItemNo should return the item that

the caret is in, which would be the item of the embedded component if that

is what the user has selected (come on, admit it ;) - in the light of which

the routine below looks more like a bug workaround, not that I'm not

grateful for it.

I presume finding a way of notifying RV that an embedded control has been

selected to place the caret there is problematic.
