Mh, Acrobat+wine on Linux I could deal with. Knowing of IE6 code on
my disk might give me nightmares and psychosis. :_)
But thanks for this hint.

Yeah, I noticed that while writing and really thought I had
corrected the post accordingly.
I guess what I wanted was the highlight tool, which would allow me
to just select text to highlight, not select text and then apply
a highlight.

This is really Firefox's fault (who would have thought???)
Run 'strings' on the PS it generates and you'll see that it prints
images rather than text. I am not surprised, Firefox comes to us
from Windows. They don't know how to deal with text over there.
