Simple hilighting/text selection question

[Jay]

When users connect to my multi-user app, their usernames are displayed in a
text member, each member on a different line.

What i now want is when anyone clicks on a users line it gets hilighted and
the text (i.e. the users name) is returned or put into a variable.

I'm sure its quite simple, but i've never done anything like it before.

I have been using the hilite, selectedtext and pointtoline commands, but i
am stuck, any ideas on the lingo needed to pull this off?

Thanks
