yes, this is a bit tricky ;-)

It is possible, but you have to consider this:

It is only pssible to change the tool with the browse tool...

??? :-)

The conclusion is to provide a stack that has the browse tool as a 
default tool,
no matter what tool is "really" selected.

So your "tools"-stack HAS to be a "palette" or a "modeless".

It won't work without an extra "tools"-palette or modeless stack.

I would prefer palette.
(Do not forget to reset the tool when closing that palette ;-)
on closestack
   choose browse tool
end closestack

Otherwise you are... ehmm.. lost...


That's the secret ;-)

Drop a line if you need furhter info...
