how to reject a mouse

[David Bovill]

Did a quick experiment - try putting this script in a scrolling field:

on mouseDown
     if the autohilite of me is true then
         put the params
     end if
end mouseDown

on mouseUp
     if the autohilite of me is true then
         put the params
     end if
end mouseUp

and then changing the autohilite of the scrolling field - works for  
these messages and keeps the hilited line fixed - if thats what you  
want?
