Hi,

This is not quite the RR way of doing things, but perhaps it will provide a
clue as to what you need:

on mousestilldown
   put "100,100,200,200" into bounds
   put max(item 1 of bounds,min(item 3 of bounds,the mouseh)) into x
   put max(item 2 of bounds,min(item 4 of bounds,the mousev)) into y
   set the loc of me to x,y
end mousestilldown

...the keys being the min/max functions.

HTH,
Ken N.
