I have long been satisfied with simple routines called "focus" and
"unfocus" that would let me move from port to port in my applications
without much interference.

Now, however, I have run into a case where I wish I could save the
clipping of a port, and restore it later. I see no standard mathod
mentioned in IM concerning this function. I presume that saving the
ClipRgn handle in the port and replacing it afterwards is the approach,
but hadn't thought through what other needs I must address.

Has anyone solved this problem? Suggestions?
