Hmmm.
There is something else going on, because both approaches work identically for
me. As they ought to. Anyway, as John says, the good news is there is more than
one way to do almost anyting. I originally did it with a mouseMove as well, and
now that I think about it, this is likely slightly more robust, even though
functionally indistinguishable.

Keith, the highlight does not change on mouseDown, it changes when the mouse is
over the line... the first line in the handler is to stop the highlight being
set to the first line if the cursor is moved over a line in the field that is
empty...
on mouseWithin
if the mouseLine is empty then exit mouseWithin
select the mouseLine
end mouseWithin
Not that it matters, as one of the nice things about LiveCode is that
there is always another way to accomplish something... the purists will
'carp' on about best practices, which always makes me smile... Who is to
say ?
Take care... :-)
