Thanks Danny. As you say, not the answer I hoped for, but thanks for
making it clear. (The help file entry says "This property makes the
whole selected row appear highlighted or not".)

Is there a mechanism for updating the help file?

Seems to me there is a lot of help in the group, but maybe no
structured way to feed that back and consolidate it in the help file.

Andy.
