Pardon me if I'm behind the times a bit here - I finally realized that
we were using old versions of the ATK software on the 6000's - and made
a new link so I could access the newer versions of the software (Gary's
post about the help-links got me curious.)

In general, I didn't see many changes (copyright in message-line) - but
I didn't really expect to either since the "old" versions weren't too
old.  

However I noticed one change which, silly though it may be, bothered me.
 The way a line of text is shown as selected has changed:
[An Andrew ToolKit view (a raster image) was included here, but could
not be displayed.]("old" on bottom - "new" on top)

Before you used to get a "clean" rectangular reverse-video box
indicating the selection region - now you get a rectangle with a weird
missing-piece at the beginning and an extra-piece at the end.  Clearly
this "piece" is supposed to be the CRLF (or newline, whatever).

Was this intentional?
Is this really preferred?
Is it necessary??
