recording the mouse movements while using a paint tool

[Doug Lerner]

It is possible to log the mouse actions in the paint area. For example, a
handler like this:

 
on mouseMove 
  global wbTracker 
  repeat while the mouse is down
    put "," & the mouseLoc after wbTracker
  end repeat 
end mouseMove 



will record something like this for the mouse movements:

51,486,351,486,351,486,351,486,351,486,351,486,351,486,351,486,351,486,351,4
86,351,486,351,486,351,486,351,486,351,486,351,486,351,486,351,486,351,486,3
51,486,351,486,351,486,351,486,351,486,351,486,351,486,351,486,351,486,351,4
86,351,486,351,486,351,486,351,486,351,486,351,486,351,486,351,486,351,486,3
51,486,351,486,351,486,351,486,351,486,351,486,351,486,351,486,351,486,351..
.etc.

but this needs to be tweaked because the drawn line appears after the mouse
is up, rather than during the operation.
