Hi,

mark-lines.el is included in GNU Emacs, so you can tripple click on a line
with button 1 to select is or press "C-x C-n".

Hope this helps.

Triple clicking highlights the line for me, but C-x C-n is bound to
"set-goal-column" from simple.el. I am using Emacs 23.2.1.  Do you
know the function name that selects a line?

emacs: select current line with single command
Previously, we've covered Single Command to Delete Whole Line and How
to Copy/Cut Current Line. But what if you want to select the current
line with a single command? Very short, like this:

(transient-mark-mode 1)

(defun select-current-line ()
  "Select the current line"
  (interactive)
  (end-of-line) ; move to end of line
  (set-mark (line-beginning-position)))

This is added to Emacs Lisp Examples, check it out for other useful
exmaples.

I'm sorry for the confusion. I screwed up:

mark-lines.el can be found at the emacs wiki:

              http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/mark-lines.el

It is *not* included in GNU Emacs.

C-x C-n runs the command mark-lines-next-line.

Sorry...
