#  Thanks, but that's not what I meant, I wasn't speaking of clicking

#  What I meant is that when you select (with the mouse) one parenthesis 
#  (same is true for curly brace) the selection is automatically extended 
#  to the matching parenthesis, so that your selection becomes the two

I think this is a feature of the cocoa text handling functions. I think I saw
this in other programs as well. I connot check it right now, so if someone can
confirm this (try project builder, I think it was that one)
