[comp.emacs] Highlighting the region in GNUemacs?

heiser@ethz.UUCP (04/12/87)

Particularily when using a mouse to set the point and the mark it would
appear useful to have the region highlighted (displayed in inverse video).
Does anybody know of a way to achieve that, maybe a compile-time option?
