I have never been able to get the (irregular) polygon tool to draw under
script control.  Is this a known bug in HyperCard, or am I missing something
simple?  The other painting tools seem to work correctly.

The behavior of scripts indicates that the tool is being selected and
the drawing commands (I've tried "click at..." and "drag from ... to ..."
in various combinations) are being interpreted, but nothing shows up on
the card.

I would appreciate receiving an example of a script that succesfully
invokes the tool to draw an irregular polygon in the card picture layer.
