Emanuele,

it might help if you use the terminology used in pmapper when describing 
functionalities. I guess with 'rectangle selection' you mean the tool 
that's called 'Select', thus using a rectangle (but also just a point 
click) and applying the map query only on the layer chosen in the 
pull-down menu. The 'Identify' tool is probably what you mean with 
'point selection', this applies to all visible layers that have a 
template set in the map file.

There is nothing to fix since the missing highlight function of the 
identify is made intentionally. Highlighting features of different 
layers makes no sense to me. As mentioned, you can use the 'select' also 
for single mouse clicks. Changing from the select to the identify tool 
does not remove the highlighting, that is also intended to be so. You 
can use the 'refresh' button to do this.

I am an old ArcView 3 user and the behaviour of some functions is 
partially similar to the AV ones, with some modifications for usage by 
casual users.

You can initiate the refresh also all the time when the select tool is 
disabled, just some slight modifications in mapserver.js, eg. the 
'domouseclick(button)' function.
