Ok, got it!
set the hilitedItemNames of widget "timerNav" to "timer"
“timer” is one of the itemNames.
I guess it just needed for me to take a dinner break.
Best,
Bill

I did look at the dictionary API entry and it doesn’t tell me anything about how I would code an initialization to a particular hilight.
