What you say makes sense. And yes, that is what I'm trying to do. I want
to move the insertion point backwards one position, deleting the character
that was at that position. Just like pressing the backspace key.

Maybe the insert(iter, text) function is not the answer I'm looking for...
Do you know of a way to accomplish this?

Thanks,
