It seems that I have been misundertanding how this works. The two 
difference windows have lines with very pale grey backgrounds. I don't 
understand why. If I select a line 'Nonmatching Lines...' in the bottom 
pane, I can see the highlighted differences (in magenta), which is what I 
want and I can scroll through them with the up/down arrow keys. I was 
expecting ALL the differences to be highlighted without doing anything.

So, what are these pale grey backgrounds to some lines, alternate 
paragraphs???
