Done - I have added an optional parameter ComponentsOnly=true which will
restrict toggling to components only.
Maybe at some stage I will extend it to allow for more general control over
what entities have their selection state toggled. Even better - if someone
out there is interested in picking up this fairly simple server and using
it as a method of getting to know more about Protel Server development and
adding a help file etc etc then they are welcome to contact me. They will
need Borland Delphi 5 (yuk!).
