Wait.  Do you want to let a person point to a rendered line (as opposed to
the virtual line, which is terminated by a carriage return) and select it?
I have a script that will do that if anyone is interested.  And if you assume
that the rendered line is unique in the field it's fairly easy to find the
virtual line as well.

I'm not sure which upsets me more; that people are so unwilling to accept       responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate     everyone else's.
