Runs perfectly here John.  It draws a square, with rounded corners.

But you knew that... ;-)

Thanks John.

The Mahogany I'll be carving is due to fall off a UPS truck into my garage 
tomorrow.  So I should have a good idea how well this will work a week 
from now.  The first thing I have to do is rig to edge glue two of these 
boards to get the width I can't buy.  Actually thats second, the first is 
to clear off a work table, its piled about a foot high with tools & what 
not thrown at it over the last year.  I was never accused of being a good 
workplace housekeeper. :)

Cheers, Gene Heskett
