Sorry, you cannot use listbehaviour in this case.
(If i am wrong, i would love to be corrected :-)

But you could simulate a "list behaviour":

Try this in your field:
("traversal on", "lock text" and "auto hilite" HAVE to be set for this 
to work.)

on mouseUp
   if value(the clickline) is "-" then exit mouseup
   select line(word 2 of the clickline) of me
end mouseUp

Little disadvantage: only the TEXT is hilited and not the whole line...

set the hilitedlines of fld xxx to 0

Hope that helps.

Have a nice weekend.
