Good call.  It is being selected, but it is not being highlighted.  It is
highlighted in my SuSE built Emacs 21.1.1.  I have found that it is _not_
highlighted in my 21.2 build.

Transient-mark-mode is, by default, non-nil in the 21.1 build. In 21.2 & 21.5
they are nil by default.  Hmmmm.  Something changed?

Thanks for the help.  That does seem to address the problem.
