   This can be done by pasting transparent hilited buttons over the
selected line.  Of course, you'll have to select the line, figure the
number of lines scrolled above the window (scroll of field x div the
textheight of field x), compare the rect of the window to how many
lines down the selction is, and paste such a button there.
