Limitations of RR for drawing apps?

Install the MC engine and look at the examples from the help menu in the
mctoolbar (MCTools), hit the right arrow 9 times or is it 8?! Move the
square buttons... Ready made for you...

Also there is a HyperCard book that showed this example called
HyperProgramming from Addison Wesley written by Coulouris and Thimbledy. It
did that with bitmap drawings. Where's that early 90's diskette now? <8(

What we need in RR (like HC and MC) are MacDraw objects...
But since PS is supported, why not FreeHand quality graphic editing tools
(i'd love to have even FH 1.0 tools!) with SuperDraw (corel something?)?

Alejandro?
Todavia no tienes ese FreeHand plug-in listo?

Discretely from http://MonsieurX.com
I just started peeking at SolidWord 2004 and that's another RR for CAD CAM
graphics! Like FH 1.0 again...
For Audio Rev try www.FLStudio.com
For sweet bubbles and amber body rev try www.leffe.be
oh, shameless biased plug for Belgium, i know....
