I would do this by trapping the penDown event before it gets to
field. You can determine the height of each line of text with a call
to FntLineHeight(), and thus derive which line was tapped on.
Selecting the bounds of the tapped line is a bit harder. You have to
use the tapped line number as the index into the FieldType.lines
array of LineInfoType structures, which will probably generate a
Poser warning re accessing private UI data structures. Make sure you
handle the cases of FieldType.lines being NULL, and the calculated
line index being >= FldGetVisibleLines(fldP).
