Not since Mickey has there been such genuine affection for a mouse,
such concern for his well being, whether he is up or down, or just
moving about. It seems we do not appreciate the simple things in
life until they are threatened.

Martin,
Thank you for a very explanative description of the problem. It is
interesting that the "select line x of field y" works properly...
Hopefully it can be fixed for the next release,

After investigation I conclude that, it is setting the hilitedline[s] from
