Who else doesn't want auto-select when opening a card?

[J. Landman Gay]

I have workarounds, I just don't want to have to use them. Selecting nothing or setting the 
hilitedline, either one, you still have to set up some handlers to do it. They don't work in an 
openCard handler, you have to reset after that.
