you're not obliged to be in drawing mode...

Then you select what falls in the "selection" by intersection or inclusion... Im not sure i'd use a group rather than a simple rect graphic (simpler)... > The group is not marked as opaque, currently has no objects > within it (it is an empty group), is set to cantSelect, has > both scrollbars, is visible, and covers all but a small part > of the window, where I am dragging a palette along with the > window (as a toolbar -- not a perfect solution, of course, > but the best I've come up with so far given Rev's feature set > in terms of the drawing tools). im lost here... What does the group do? Are you supposed to scroll when dragging beyond the edge?
