Mac 4.0.2.1 front end (PB G3, OS 8.6) Open the Printing Settings/Headers and Footers dialog box., move into one of the text windows. 1) Press shift key, drag across text; text IS selected. 2) Put cursor at one point in text; move pointer to another point, press shift key while clicking mouse: text between the two points IS selected. 3) Put cursor at any point in text, hold shift key, press left or right arrow keys: cursor moves, but text it moves over IS NOT selected. (Note: If you do the same things in a regular Mathematica cell, the text the cursor moves over IS selected in all three cases.) Just for the record . . .
