MS-DOS

Problem: F8 does not anchor your starting point for selection when you do the following:


 * 1) Press F8 to turn on the extend mode.
 * 2) Press CTRL-END to go to the end of the document.
 * 3) Highlight the entire document.
 * 4) Press CTRL-HOME to go back to the beginning of the document.
 * 5) Try to unhighlight the document.

The entire document is still highlighted, as if the anchor point for the extend mode was changed from the beginning to the end.

Response: This is program design for the product.
