I have a question about TEXTSW that hopefully some of you have come
across.

Is there any way to programmatically inverse-video certain words in a
TEXTSW?  I am writing a full-text database retrieval application and I
need to highlight all the words in a document that match a user's
query. Each document gets placed in a single TEXTSW. There many words
in each document (TEXTSW window) that must be highlighted.  I know I
can search the text in a TEXTSW but I also need to be able to somehow
highlight regions of text programmatically. Even changing the color or
bolding some text would be acceptable.

Thanks in advance.

-Barry
