Thanks Jeanne. That was very helpful.

I see what my problem was. I was setting the MarkerDraw property to 
true, but  there were no marker points to be drawn until I had called 
Reshape Graphic from the Object menu.

Apparently, if the marker points are empty, Reshape Graphic 
constructs a small 33 point closed, filled polygon to simulate a 
blackened circle.

I would like to see how RR does this but I have forgotten how to peek 
at a RR menu script. Could you refresh my memory?

Thanks,

Jim
