Command-click the second line, e.g. {3}

• the entire line {3} becomes hilit, in addition to line {1}.

To select a block of lines of the t-table

Click on the topmost line of the block, e.g. {1}

Shift-click the bottom-most line, e.g. {3}

When would you want to select lines?

You would select one or more lines prior to operating on them by means of a tool, or a menu choice.

In this way you can

• add two or more lines to produce a new line
• subtract one line from another (the order in which you select lines matters)
• delete a line (or more)
• merge lines
• plot the chart of a block of lines against the first line (as x-axis)
• operate more generally on one or more lines.
