$selected

[Doug Easterbrook]

to find total selected

calc #1 as  list.$totc(#lsel)

to check each line in a list to see if its selected

for list.$line from 1 to list.$linecount
   if list.$selected
      ok I’m selected
  end if
  # which is equivalent to the following .. 
   if list.[list.$line].$selected
      ok I’m selected
  end if
  # which is equivalent to the following ..    
   if list.0.$selected
      ok I’m selected
  end if

end if

in the above:   nothing and [list.$line] and 0 are equivalent.  all imply the current line





to check any specific line is selected

if list.3.$selected
   ok I’m selected
end if



to refer to a list line using a variable

calc #1 as 18.  (checking line 18
if list.[#1].$selected
   ok I’m selected
end if
