O$ creating a drag rectangle on the thick client

[Paul Mulroney]

Hi Kelly,

Thanks for your email.  This is Studio 10.1 for macOS.  I'm going to try Bas' idea.  For this particular project I don't need much, so that might be enough for now.

Regards,
Paul.

I've since written a "Markup" xcomp that was more like a Paint window with a tool palette for interactively drawing lines and circles - but it was a custom job and didn't include a normal full set of drawing tools.  I've planned to rewrite it as a more generic thing.  Never enough time, even with a pandemic.  (It's hard to make a hermit stay home more than he already did...)

I took the shell off my racing snail, thinking it would make him run faster. If anything, it made him more sluggish.
