I hate mousedown

[Thomas McGrath III]

Jonathan,

I did not know that at all. I haven't played with the drag stuff too 
many times. I am intrigued by it and am off to test some code.
It is sort of like faking the drag in order to make use of the other 
messages. Very cool.

Thank you very much,

Tom
