Thanks to Mel Patrick and Rick Brown that both addressed me in the right
(i.e. HIG compliant) direction.

I always wondered how to use FN TEFEATUREFLAG but was too lazy to search
Inside Mac to find it :-)

Steve Van Voorst also suggested to change the color of the selected text
(via EDIT TEXT), that's a good hint: I added a bold style, to be sure my
users understand...

I used the list manager before for the same task, but:
1) it was MUCH slower to draw: now I prepare the data in a handle, then
EDIT FIELD #id, &handle& and it is fast even when approaching the 32K
limit;
2) I never managed to use the list manager outside a modal window (how to
trap mouse and keyboard events) :-(

While point 1 has no solution, point 2 probably has, I just don't know
how. Anyone?
