So, I'm left with a little problem about how to handle the marked
text when new output goes to the screen, possibly messing up
the marked area or moving it around. There is 3 possible
solutions to this:
1. Catch all updates and change the marking to comply
2. Remove the marking on all updates.
3. Only show the marked text when actually doing the
cut action, remove as soon as the mousebutton is
released.
Now, 1 above is almost impossible, so unless we will accept
a MAJOR slowdown on screen updates, this is not really an
option. 2 above is possible (thats the route I've started)
but it generates quite alot of code. 3 is easy and does
not cost anything...
So comments are VERY welcome...

So much code to hack -- so little time.
