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??

Use this preference to fix it up:

    *.HighlightToBorders: true
