Following Pierre's suggestion I have now implemented send and receive
of this message in TOPCAT.  You can get a pre-release version with
this functionality from

   ftp://andromeda.star.bris.ac.uk/topcat/pre/topcat-full.jar

To cause TOPCAT to send highlightObject messages, select the 
new "Transmit Row" option from the Actiation Window for the table.
It will automatically respond to highlightObject messages for
tables it has loaded.  More detailed documentation is available 
in the online help (select the Interop|Help on Interoperability 
menu item from the main control window).
