Responding to the following:

"Ok for a word. But to select a greater area, why not just click at the
beginning (*ONCE*) and drag the mouse to the end? Many Amiag programs
do it this way. Is there really always needed a double-click?"

You can select a word by double-clicking, you can select any contiguous
amount of text by dragging, and you can put the insertion point at the
beginning of a document (or wherever) and then click somewhere else while
the shift key is down and everything between the two positions will be 
selected.
