Instead of clearing the bit in the low memory global, I prefer to use
PenMode(hilite); PaintRgn(selection).  I suspect that this method is
less popular because the description of it in IM V is somewhat
difficult to puzzle out.

The value of hilite is (rather curiously) 50.  You'll need this if
you're using the latest MPW interfaces, as this constant is missing
from them.
