Difference between Run tool and Edit tool

This feature makes it quite simple to create a simple drawing program.

And if you set up a stack as a "palette" (for example; actually 
anything but a topLevel), it will behave as if in browse mode (the "run 
tool") regardless of which tool is selected.  So you can have a 
"document" window for the drawing, and open a "tools" window (as a 
palette) and provide tools.  Use the "selection" tool ("edit" mode), 
along with the various other tools (the graphic tool, the field tool 
for text fields, etc.) and let Rev do most of the work for you.

I'm doing something similar to this right now to create a report editor 
for the project I am doing (not the one everyone on the list keeps 
asking about -- this is specifically for software released by the 
company I work for).
