  Is there a routine I can call to highlight a region on the screen the way
TextEdit does--using the user-selected highlighting color on a Mac II, and
inverting black and white on other Macs?  If not, how can I find out what the
users-selected highlighting color is?
  Are there user interface guidelines for this?  Is it only supposed to be used
for straight text, editable in the usual way, or can it be used for other
kinds of selections?
