Michael and Hamish,
I suspected it was to 'highlight' objects selected in a query, and I tried
to check it, but it seems ineffective. The only query panels I know are
'What's here' and 'Pick' (another quite obscure panel) but they seem to
ignore the 'Highlight' setting. If it cannot be fixed, and considering it
has been replaced (together with 'Pick') in 6.3, shouldn't it better to
remove the panel from 6.2.3? In my opinion not to have a panel is better
than having a not working one.
A similar situation is for 'Scale and Decoration Panel'. It seems not to
work since a long time. As it (or its equivalent)works in 6.3 shouldn't be
fixed (or otherwise deleted)in 6.2.3?
Thanks a lot for your interest.

Aha!
Highlighting was a kind of query that would 'highlight' objects
selected in a query.

Aldo Clerici:
can somebody tell me what the Highlight Panel in NVIZ is for?
Which objects are affected by this panel setting?
unfortunately there is no panel_highlight.html help page, but here is
what is listed in the code:
6.2.1/visualization/nviz/scripts/panel_highlight.tcl
#* PURPOSE: Creates a "highlight" panel and manages
#* color/size/marker highligh values and enabing for
#* "default" highlight request (see
site_highlight_commands.c
#* for details and "nviz/README.ACS")
6.2.1/visualization/nviz/src/site_highlight_commands.c
*
* Sites depending commands
*
* Nsite_highlight "what" "site_id" "cat" ["value"]
* - highlights a specific geopoint -
* what = color/size/marker/default
* default: panel highlight type and values are used instead
of "value"
* site_id = (string range map_name 5 end)
* cat = DB category associated to the specific geopoint
* [value] (optional) = #rrggbb for color
* float for size
* int for marker
* when omitted default value is used
*
* Nsite_highlight_list "what" "site_id" "catlist" ["value"]
* - highlights a list of geopoints -
* what = color/size/marker/default
* default: panel highlight type and values are used instead
of "value"
* site_id = (string range map_name 5 end)
* catlist = list of DB category associated to the each geopoint
* [value] (optional) = #rrggbb for color
* float for size
* int for marker
* when omitted default value is used
*
*
* Nsite_unhighlight "what" "site_id" "cat"
* - unhighlights a specific geopoint -
* what = color/size/marker
* site_id = (string range map_name 5 end)
* cat = DB category associated to the specific geopoint
*
* Nsite_unhighlight_list "what" "site_id" "catlist"
* - unhighlights a list of geopoints -
* what = color/size/marker/default
* default: panel highlight type and values are used instead
of "value"
* site_id = (string range map_name 5 end)
* catlist = list of DB category associated to the each geopoint
*
* Nsite_unhighlight_all "what" "site_id"
* - unhighlights all site geopoints -
* what = color/size/marker/all
* all: unhighlights color, size and marker
* site_id = (string range map_name 5 end)
*
*
* Sites independent commands (for panel_highlight.tcl)
*
* Nsite_highlight_set_default "what" "value"
* - sets highlight default type -
* what = color/size/marker
* value = 1/0 (1: turns ON / 0 turns OFF color/size/marker
highlight)
*
* Nsite_highlight_get_default "what"
* - returns highlight default type -
* what = color/size/marker
*
* Nsite_highlight_set_default_value "what" "value"
* - sets highlight default value -
* what = color/size/marker
* value = color/size/marker value to set
*
* Nsite_highlight_get_default_value "what"
* - returns highlight default value -
* what = color/size/marker

Puzzled, I just looked at NVIZ. There isn't a highlight panel in the
current version of NVIZ. Which version of GRASS are you using?
Probably 6.2.x:

new combined panel_vquery.tcl."
