Re-posting of Question about Draw and Paint Palette

[Joe Lewis Wilkins]

Thanks Richard. I had kind of come to that conclusion on my own, but  
it's comforting to hear an authoritative opinion on the topic.  
Developing such a palette will certainly be grist for a future  
article on my Macinstuct.com column on Revolution. I finalize a cross  
platform application begun this past week with this Wednesday's  
column, so be sure to check it out.
