I am using HC 2.0, but I don't think that is important. Say I want to invert a trianglular region. This doesn't work (obviously): select lasso tool drag from 0,0 to 0,100 with optionkey -- option key selects region -- even if it's blank drag from 0,100 to 100,100 with optionkey domenu "Invert" -- or whatever select browse tool The second drag nullifies the first and a region with zero area is selected. I guess I want something like this (it doesn't work): drag from 0,0 to 0,100 to 100,100 Any ideas? I believe I've exhausted the RTFM method.
