I just read Monte's mail on testing whether a point is within a polygon 
and realized that 'within()' and 'is within' are not the same function. 
  The within() function looks pretty handy.

Replace above with this:

   if within(graphic "Test", mouseLoc()) then

Hmmm.  And I think Monte just demonstrated that this statement from the 
TD is not quite right:

It may have contributed to throwing Eric off.
