For "hilitedline", append an "s" and it will work :-)

It has to be "the hilitedlines of fld xxx".

That will return the number of the hilited line(s) !

It has to be the plural, even if there is only one line hilited !!!


Check out the "selectedlines"in this context, too.

This will return something like:

line 4 of field 7

So you can easily extract the desired line-number and more info...


Hope this helps...


A votre service et au revoir
