The first item in the DITL will be highlighted when an ALRT is drawn
using the system call for alerts.  There's no special treatment for
the first DITL item under a DLOG.  The highlighting is not there when
the ALRT is drawn in ResEdit, because it's not really an alert - it's
just a drawing of the DITL items.

     into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?"
