Thanks for the tip about m-n.  I have used m-p in the past - so should have
thought of that.

But a problem I have is eg if I have marked the text:
xyzfunction returned true

Then use m-x highlight-regexp

then m-n (or m-p) I can cycle through the history (which is good) but for
the current selection for some reason I only get the last word - true. 
Would be great to get all text I selected.  Any ideas?
