public java.lang.String	getAtIndex(int part, int index) Returns the String at a given index. param part the CHARACTER, WORD, or SENTENCE to retrieve param index an index within the text return the letter, word, or sentence
public java.lang.String	getBeforeIndex(int part, int index) Returns the String before a given index. param part the CHARACTER, WORD, or SENTENCE to retrieve param index an index within the text return the letter, word, or sentence
public int	getCaretPosition() Returns the zero-based offset of the caret. Note: That to the right of the caret will have the same index value as the offset (the caret is between two characters). return the zero-based offset of the caret.

If the point is invalid, this method returns -1. param p the Point in local coordinates return the zero-based index of the character under Point p; if Point is invalid return -1.
public java.lang.String	getSelectedText() Returns the portion of the text that is selected. return the String portion of the text that is selected
