The missing line is:  doMenu "Clear Picture".
Please note that "Clear Picture is only available as a menu option 
when a valid selection has been made; "drag from 100,100 to 100,200"
encloses a rectange of zero area, so no selection is made.  
Something like "drag from 100,100 to 200,200" works fine.
