I'm trying for the first time to use TextEdit in one of my windows. I can display and scroll text; the problem comes with selections. The selected area hilites just fine, and the startSel and endSel fields get updated to the proper values. The problem is that, the next time I make a selection, the previous hiliting is not undone; TextEdit just happily inverts my new selection. After doing this for a while, the window looks like some sort of demented checkerboard. Inside Macintosh and every programming example I can find just call TEClick, and seem to think that's sufficient; I'm doing the same, and getting nowhere. Does this sound familiar to anyone? What could cause this sort of behavior? Please answer by mail; no reason to bore everyone else with the answer to such a basic question. Thanks for any light anyone can shed on this. -- Steve Dorner, U of Illinois Computing Services Office Internet: s-dorner@uiuc.edu UUCP: {convex,uunet}!uiucuxc!dorner IfUMust: (217) 244-1765
