It's now months I had in mind something like that :
object ENTRY, that would provide a full control of your entry.

ENTRY(0) would be the whole text, not only line, you can read or write with ENTRY(0):="a line\ntext";
ENTRY(1) would give col position of cursor (can also read or write)
ENTRY(2) would give row position of cursor
ENTRY(3) to return edit mode : 0=not editing 1=Text (like programs) 2=TextBook entry...
ENTRY(4) would be selection lenght (default 0, can also be read or write)
ENTRY(5) for managing flags (shift, alpha1, alpha...)

with such tool, one can implement features in existing tools.
like for example implementing a functions list inside program editor....

Interesting ideas, that would create a far wider range of potential applications certainly.
