err, this is probably a hack, but you can use pos(lineending,
memo.lines.text) in a loop to count how many newlines before you get
to memo.selstart.  then rposex(lineending, memo.lines.text,
memo.selstart) to find how far you are in the line you are.  works in
gtk2, at least (can send code if i don't make sense :).
