If listBehavior [or listBehaviour, if you insist  :-)] = true then mouseText and the clickText both give the text of the line, and with listBehavior = false, the mouseText gives the *word* under the cursor, and the clicktext will give the same. (ListBehavior is designed to streamline picking a line from a list, so the field messages return whole lines.) But no matter what listBehavior is set to, mousetext = clicktext, the difference being whether a click is necessary to trigger it.

However, the clickLine (and the mouseLine) gives something like "line 5 of fld 2". You could do value(the clickLine) to get the text of the line, sometimes useful if listBehavior = false. Similarly for the mouseChunk and the clickChunk --> "char 56 to 61 of fld 2".
