subject: Auto-highlighting text

Hello All!

I can't for the life of me figure out how to auto-highlight text in a
dialog box when it is switched to.  For example, if I tab to a text-entry
field, I want the text highlighted so if the user starts typing it will
automatically replace what's in there.  It's a commonly used technique, I
just can't figure out how to do it.  :-(

Please forgive me for asking such an obvious question, but I bought a book
for advanced OS/2 programming by mistake and, though I now know a lot of
fancy stuff, I don't know the basic things.  :-)
