Pete,

Isn't the 4th number the alpha channel?

Having an issue with using "is a color"

put "20,40,100,200" into tVar
put tVar is a color

...returns true.  I thought that color references were either three
numbers, a hex value, or a color name.

If there is a valid color reference consisting of 4 numbers, it seems
there's a conflict between that an "is a rect".
