I should have mentioned that selection with the mouse is not crucial; the same unexpected highlighting occurs if selection is done via the keyboard -- with the important qualification that in step 5, the selection must be made by typing `C-SPC' twice to activate the mark, then moving point to the end of "OLDVAL", so that it is highlighted. (Mark activation is not necessary in step 3, in which case the selected text would not be highlighted.) Steve Berman
