I think this is because some applications (GFA if I remember right) have
a system where you can hide a block, and then un-hide it again. HIDE
suggests that something is hidden, but kept in storage. Deselect
usually means 'discard the markings altogether'.

I agree with Rick Flashman that the right approach to mouse clicks in
background windows when MTOS or WINX are NOT installed is to require the
user to hold the right mouse button and use left clicks.
Warwick's WM_TOPPED approach is witty but not perfect---the click only
gets sent to the app when the mouse button is released. And I am sure
there IS an Atari document which says: TOP your window when a WM_TOPPED
message is received! Users expect the action of left-clicking to top a
window---otherwise they'd be using WINX anyway.
(Although I haven't adopted that approach in Edith... I am a WINX user
myself, so I just set WF_BEVENT to 1 and trouble gone)

CONJECTURE. The only Control + ASCII key combinations and Control +
shift + ASCII key combinations which are the same on all international
keyboards are letters.
(I think taking German, UK and French key tables would already prove my
point)

have a nice meal (with pieces of Bacon or sth)
