Hi Paul,

You might want to take a look at the "Draw Project" in the FBII "Getting
Started" folder. You'll get a MacsBug Error right off unless you create a "New"
document as soon as you open the "Flag" application. I don't know what causes
it, but I have found you can mess around to see what the app does if you create
this "New" document right off. This has a Palette of Drawing Objects, so it may
show you the way. I've done something similar, but haven't the slightest idea
where it is. I believe I used this as a starting point myself.

Hope this clears away the "fog".
