WORD MakeSelctRect(lpPntStruc, Y, X)
LPEXTPAINTSTRUC lpPntStruc;
WORD Y;
WORD X;
 
The MakeSelctRect function sets a new selection. It is called after every
call to KeySelection in response to SHIFT+arrow key. Given a new end point,
it adjusts the new end point to be character aligned in text mode (and on a
convenient boundary in the video memory in graphics mode). It also adjusts
for maximum width and height of the screen. It sets the selection rectangle
based on the current start point and end point.
