Pixel inversion under transparent buttons was a very useful feature of
HyperCard; it allowed you to quickly and easily hilite any object. This was
especially handy for painted text: you could create graphical fields, menus,
maps, charts, and labels--and then hilite text portions at will with overlaid
transparent buttons. (In the above instances, paint text is used for
stability. Cross-platform display can turn text into taffy, so text fields are
unacceptable, for example, in the tight confines of a map.)

I requested this feature when Revolution was in beta testing. Kevin added it
to the list, but I don't know where it stands at this point.
