Re: 20010827: cursor garea+ question.

Steve,

Err, no response.  I've been off on another tangent, so I haven't had a 
chance to look further into it or the area shading we talked about before you 
left.

Essentially, looking to see if it were possible, without altering the code, 
to use the gareax functionality within a script - i.e. such that the area was 
filled without using the cursor command, or the gui's.  I found where I could 
change the code to make the "fill entire window" work for every draw - but I 
hate changing the code, as it just makes for one more patch I have to install 
for each new version.  I like to stay as native to what you distribute as 
possible.

Thanks for any insight.

Stonie
