  Select a region of the text in this Editable. The characters between start up to but not including end will be selected.

  Calling selectRegion(0, 0) will remove the selection (although that will only happen if some other Widget has the focus; in Windows where there is only one control the user can manipulate an Entry will end up selected no matter what).

  Set the position of the cursor in this Editable. The cursor will be put before the character at the position indicated.
