You have to do move the cursor before:

Editor1.Goto(1, 1)
Editor1.Insert("Hello")

The Editor characters are now referenced by line and row everywhere. You 
should not have to use an absolute position. What are you doing exactly?

I'm not sure :-) As code can be highlighted *and* rewritten (not in custom 
mode at the moment), an absolute position can lose its meaning without any 
warning...
