Uhm ... _do You_ or _do You not_ want to insert a text ? Of course, You may save the former text in another text item in a control block
in order to restore it in the datablock text item if needed, this is just a matter of what logic You need,
You can do almost anything using PL/SQL in some triggers (e.g. PRE-TEXT-ITEM-trigger to save the value
in a control block item with the same properties, except it is not a DBO).

There are many possible ways.

What exactly do You mean with "inserting at Cursor position" ? Are You standing in a completely different item and by some actions You want to change another item ? Maybe then, a POST-TEXT-ITEM-trigger is what You might need ... just a guess so far.
