    In Encounter there is a concept of selection and separately highlighting.  The system always has a notion of how many objects are selected that's reflected in the main GUI on the bottom-right hand side with the "SelNum:" indicator.  Highlighting is a different thing.  You can highlight objects different colors.  Mostly commonly I see this used to colorize instance beneath various hierarchical instance different colors. Usually, especially for nets, selection is sufficient for visualizing characteristics associated with detail routing.  To select a net use the "selectNet" TCL command.

    There's also a concept of selection of a net vs. selection of the wire segments that comprise a net.  To select the individual wire segments of a net use "editSelect -net <net_name>".

    If you truly want to highlight an object you first select it then use the "highlight" command:

    selectNet <net_name>
    highlight -index 1

    The -index value should be 1 through 8 which corresponds to what you have defined as the set of valid highlight colors and is user-editable.

    Hope this helps,
    Bob
