I'm trying to write an editor command that has a different behavior depending on the highlighted text. But I can't seem to distinguish the case where there is no highlighted text -- just the current point. All the editor functions seem to use whatever mark was previously set even though there is no highlighted text in the buffer. Is there a way to determine when there is no highlighted text? Thanks, John DeSoi, Ph.D.

I naively hope that the following do the trick :-)
(editor:variable-value-if-bound 'editor:highlight-active-region
:buffer buffer)
