Thanks Sarah,

I'm not sure that is exactly my problem. The hilited line is already 
visible-- it was just clicked on. It jumps the hilited line from 
wherever it is in field to the very bottom line of the field. However, 
I can see that your suggestion will work for what I want. I'll give it 
a go.
