Thanks for the clarification, Mark.  I think I need to find a better 
word than "interactively" to distinguish what I'm describing, since 
Frank's not the first person to miss that.

This is described in greater detail at:

If you need to make an app which contains a drawing environment you may 
wish to vote for that one, and also:

<http://www.runrev.com/revolution/developers/bugdatabase/show_bug.cgi?id=624>

If the value of these seems questionable one remedy would be to have a 
bake-off:  get two new users and sit them down with Rev and SuperCard 
and have them make a drawing app.  The SuperCard user will be done in a 
few hours while the Rev user will be posting for days here looking for 
help and still never get the standard drawing app behaviors.....
