Tim,
I've just had a similar problem myself. Actually I wanted to use MB to
change the style MI used to highlight any selected objects - like you can
from 'Options->Preferences->Map Window' in MI. I didn't find a wholly
satisfactory way. One neat looking way was to use SelectionInfo to get the
underlying 'QueryN' table for the selection, globally changed styles in that
and then add the layer to relevant map window(s). The trouble was that this
had the unexpected drawback of preventing users from using the selection
tools in the map window(s) to pick any objects in the underlying table
unless they were in that query table - weird. In the end I had to commit
the query table to make a 'proper' base table of it - then open that and add
the layer to the relevant map window(s). Means doing a lot of housekeeping
around temp tables though.
Let me know if you find better ways.

Subject: MI Changing selected object styles using MB
I know this should be straightforward, but once I've selected a number of
line objects and placed them in the Selection table, is there a simple way
to change all of the lines styles to a single thickness and colour?
Something akin to selecting options>line style in MI.
TIA
