How do I make sure the fld has the cursor in it to give the user a visual of which fld he/she should be using.

Not seeing anything in the dictionary for cursor that stands out.

The cursor is an indicator of the selection. Try this:

select text of fld "fld1"

Awesome! Why didn't I think of that? One day I'll be half as good as you LC gurus. Thank you sir.

If you don't actually want to select any text that may be in the field, you can also
select before field "field1"
or
select after field "field1"
to set the cursor in place ready to type more.
