Are you talking about highlighting lines?

One thing I've noticed in the past (and I'd love to be corrected if I'm wrong)
is that you can only highlight a contiguous set of characters.  So if you're
trying to create a text field that the user can select multiple lines in,
you're out of luck with the built in field properties.

In the past I've solved this by setting the color of the characters themselves
on the different lines to show that they are selected.   When I've really
needed to have them be *highlighted*, I use multiple rectangular transparant
sprites placed over the desired lines.  This looks nice but there's a bit of
programming involved because the highlights have to turn themselves on and off
as the field is scrolled.
