Good Evening Steven,
I have not used 2019 but till 12 the following code worked

function MDESCRIP_onGotFocus()
       this.keyboard( "{End}" )
       return

If you are using it as a part of constructor code of the entryfield then
you would probably be required to use a different syntax

onGotFocus = {||this.keyboard( "{Home}")}

{||   } will indicate to dBase that it is executable code.

Apart from this there is a group specifically related to issues with
tutorials.

If this does not solve your problem then you can try posting the issue
there.
