DE/dtterm: any *mouseless* way to "blacken" (whole screen?)
I noticed that 2-click selects word, 3-click selects line
so I tried 4-click to see what happens :-)

Actually, the quadruple click was defined in the Nextstep Human
Interface Guidelines - the reasoning was:
Single click - set insertion point
Double click - select word
Triple click - select line
Quadruple click - select all text
A somewhat logical progression. Mind you, I'm going off my memory here
(it's been a while since I've messed about with OpenSTEP).
