hilite, double-click etc.

Dear Jeanne,

Thanks for the suggestion.

Using this code, however, I get an execution error with

Error description:  do: error in statement

--------------------
if storedHilitedChunk is not empty \
--------------------
Value: storedHilitedChunk


I'm not sure what this means.
