Help me, somebody.
This is probably simple, but then again, so am I.
I want to display text on a window, then allow the user to select a word
within the text by double-clicking. Then I want to know what word
was selected.  Is there a method that's easier than keeping track of the coordinates of each word as I write it, or doing a GetLine and counting characters across the line?

Thanks in advance for your help.
