Insert text into a document (beginners Question)

Ok,
Another beginners question.

Say I have a document loaded into TextEdit, and would like
to insert some text at the current cursor position. How
would I go about that.

I have found a way to get all the text, found how to get
the "selection point", but this gives me something like
"Selection at character position 34 of file bla", which
is really not what I think I need.

If anyone can just do a small snippet on how to do it
it would be great. I have the "Applescript in a nut
shell" and got on order the other "O'Reilly" book, but
that will take some time to arrive.

Thanks
Robert
