A LoF opens, and lines are highlit when the mouse is over them.
Clicks open the program at that line.

Not sure what you mean by that.

Yes!!! 

While the Throwback window has Input Focus, the mouse moves the selected
line up/down, and Enter shows that line in the program but closes the
Throwback window.

Clicks on the lines *sometimes* displays that line in the program (not
worked out when it does or not). I will try to clarify this.

I think I see what you mean. When the mouse moves the black line the
original one is left with white background.

Not sure what use the mouse has (yet) because if Enter pressed that line
is displayed in the program, but the Throwback is closed. Might be useful
on occasion.

I have now also tried a new SE install on a Pi - which works.
The same install (using ShareFS) did not work on my Iyonix.

The RPi is running RO5.23 26-Mar-16
The Iyo is running RO5.23 26-May-16

[Note that with no extra modes installed, a TaskWindow request fails with
Abort on instruction fetch at &4 (this is on a high vectors build)]
