Selecting text

[Arthur Makosinski]

Thanks for the suggestions on selecting a word by pointing.

However the selecttext and selectchunk commands do not work when one 
tries to include a non alphabetic character such as in this case:

%abc  or  *abc

In Revolution, only the three characters "abc" are selected. I am 
trying to find a command or a trick to select the entire chunk which 
includes the "%" or "*".

In Hypercard it worked when I did:

click at the clickloc
click at the clickloc
put the selection into container

However, when I try the above in Revolution, the computer freezes.

The inclusion of the non-text characters are pretty important in my 
application, and I wonder if anyone has noticed this.

Many thanks.
