Insert point at distance from curve start/end?

Simple task, but I find myself needing it quite often. Is there 1 command to insert a point at a given distance from a start or end of a curve? Currently I create a subcurve with a given length, then place a point at the end of that curve. If this was incorporated into one of the Point commands that would be pretty cool.

thanks,

that one is on the requests list…
