It wasn't entirely clear to me, but I think he wants *all* instances of a word to flash if the mouse is over *one* of them (as with `isearch-highlight-all-matches'), and for the highlighted word to change as the mouse moves. Anybody who has ever tried to track a particular message through the sendmail logs will immediately understand the utility of this. Just point at the sendmail message identifier, and voil=E0!, they're all highlighted. But (grr) of course sendmail will change those identifiers more often than Michael Jackson changed costume in a concert. But now we're ready for that ... just a flick of the mouse and we've got the next series of logs. Spam fighting gives "point and shoot" a certain attraction to even the most confirmed pacifist....
