make sure you change the cursor: the X shape suggests that cutting would
take place immediately on click; the cursor should suggest that clicking
will only select. also i must comment that putting the selection in such a
shade of blue makes it a little hard to distinguish from non-selected (but
it's not that bad).

I must really thank you for the undo feature. That's the kind of thing I
find so important, I would have liked implementing it if I were really
using PD (but I'm still sticking with jMax).
