Highlighting a Selected Cell

I don't seem to be able to figure out how to highlight selected cells in
a matrix in a scrollview.  I've RTFMs til Digital Librarian is burned into the
monitor 8-)

I have a subclass of TextFieldCell which I putCell into a Matrix.  The Matrix
has a LT_GRAY background, and I've tried LT_GRAY and -1 for the Cells.

When I press the mouse button, the cell under the cursor highlights, which
is good.  When I release the mouse button, it turns gray again, which is
not what I want.  I want it to stay white.  (The whole cell, not just the
text, which isn't editable).

The cell *is* selected OK, since when I push other buttons that cause things
to happen to [theMatrix selectedCell] they happen to the right one.  So,
how do I get the cell to stay highlighted?  (Oh yeah, theMatrix is RADIOMODE.)

A related (??) problem is that though setDoubleAction: behaves as I think it
should, I cannot get setAction to work.  When I double click a Cell, I
call the targets action, but when I single click it, I don't

I am figuring that I DON'T UNDERSTAND.  That happens sometimes, know what I
mean?

thanks for listening, I feel better already.
