I believe that the System 7 TE allows "outline hiliting" for inactive windows.
Perhaps you could fudge TE into thinking that an inactive TE field was part
of another window and have the outline available in various places. Then, perhaps,
you could re-define the outline hiliting to look just like the regular one (and
wouldn't THAT confuse a user).
