Thank YOU ;-)

Looks like this doesn't work with non-cont hilites...

If you need the linenumber(s) you can use "the hilitedlines of fld y".

Gives a list of the linenumbers like "1,3,4" and works, too ;-)

I tested on 2.1, it supports drawers* and other X goodies... :-)

*Unfortunately there is obviously a resizebug with drawers, but i am 
sure it won't
last long until 2.1.1 ;-)

I didn't...

Hope that helps...
