Description James Snell CLA 2003-02-27 12:43:55 EST 
It would be helpful to have the option of temporarily adding a "sticky" 
highlight to a block of code inside an editor.  That is, select a block of 
text, right click to bring up the context menu, select "Highlight" from the 
menu.  The block of code would then be enclosed in a block of yellow.  To 
remove the highlight, right click and select "Remove Highlight".  The highlight 
would not be permanent, however.  So if you close the editor, the highlight 
goes away.
