Originally I had not been setting an initial selection, but
the first item had been close-highlighted as I described. Then
I tried setting the initial selection in the InitForm routine,
with no difference in the result.
The previous suggestion (by Steve Sabram) of calling WinEraseRectangle()
has gotten rid of -most- of the problem. Now the highlighting
to the right of the text is proper, but there's still a bit of
junk to the left of the 1st after selecting a second. Instead of
|[]ITEM 1[ ]|
|[ ITEM 2 ]|
| ITEM 3 |
it's now this
|[]ITEM 1 |
|[ ITEM 2 ]|
| ITEM 3 |
Good enough ... but it'd still be nice to get rid of that last
bit of "dirt".

Force a redraw -- I'll try that, thanks.
