Hi Steve and Howard,

I added a mouseup and mousedoubleup
handler to the stack script provided
by Howard, to choose the pointer tool
(pressing controlkey and mouseup over
the target object) and choose the
browse tool again to resume normal
operation (by doubleclicking over the
background).

I uploaded an stack that works if
you open it by double clicking, but does not
work if you open in the development environment,
unless you "suspend Revolution".

Use the keys combination provided by Howard
after you have the pointer tool, to resize
proportionally. I notice that it resizes from
center, not from a corner.
