Yes, I have not used LoF a lot yet, but it has always worked as expected,
regarding highlighting lines and responding to clicks.

Hmmm. I have just run a LoF ... and after that the Throwback seemed to
work! I am sure it did not before I ran the LoF. I will double-check this
tomorrow.

I also tried a v4.69f9 (now I know the start- with Ctrl to use local Cfg)
and it worked as I expected, when v4.70 did not.  

But I am wary of all these results, as it could just be the variations I
have noticed - or there could be a clue somewhere!

I appreciate that SE can do its own searches on limited files, I when I
have got to grips with basic editing I will explore this after multi-file
handling. But I would hate to drop the whole of the RISC OS source
directories on to SE to load and then search, which I do with TextSeek!

I will continue reporting any findings!
