Just to see if i get you right:

You want to "unhilite" ALL lines AFTER you did something with the
hilited lines?

Sorry I wasn't clear
I want to unhilite EACH line after something is done with that 
particular line .
The highlights would go off one after the other as the repeats are 
worked through, thus indicating to the user the progress of the 
process.
Probably not possible. I thought I would throw it out
Paul

The you can:

...
repeat for each line mychoice in the selectedText of fld "mylistfield"
	doSomething
end repeat
set the hilitedlines of fld "mylistfield" to 0
...

If that's not what you were after, drop another line :-)
