If you want to know if a selection is contiguous or not you can use 
something like this:

function getIsFldSelContiguous pHilitedLines
	if ( (sum(pHilitedLines) / (last item of pHilitedLines - first item of 
pHilitedLines + 1)) = \
		((first item of pHilitedLines + last item of pHilitedLines) / 2)) then
		return "true"
	else
		return "false"
	end if
end getIsFldSelContiguous
