I should have read further before replying earlier:-)

You could always create "real programming" (whatever that is)
by making some functions:
function paintRectangle upperLeft lowerRight
-- paints a rectangle given the upper left corner and lower right corner
  choose rectangle tool
  drag from upperLeft to lowerRight
  choose browse tool
end paintRectangle

Of course you can make it fancier by adding parameters for
line thickness, line color, fill color, making the function
set the tool choice back to whatever it was when the
function was called, etc.

Have fun!
