No settings for this one, sorry.

I would (and do) use a "mousedoubleup" handler that can check the  
clicked line
and then open an "ask Dialog" wehre the user can edit that line and  
write it back
to the field later...

Example, presumes that only line 2 should be edited:

on mousedoubleup
  put the selectedtext of me into tSl
  put the hilitedlines of me into tHl

## Check for editable line:
  if tHl <> 2 then
    exit mousedoubleup
  end if

  ask "Change this line:" with tSl
  if it <> empty then
    put it into line tHl of me
  end if
end mousedoubleup

Famous last words: Not tested, but should work :-)
