    I have a routine in a custom view that makes a call to 
NXRect (I think that is the function.  It is like NXDrawButton).
It seems that the coordinate system that it uses is different depending
on which method calls it.  I have a method called selfDraw which seems
to work just fine (The origin in the origin of the custom view).  The
other method that calls it (mouseDown) seems to use the origin of the
window that the custom view is in.  I do know that to get the coordinates
of where the mouse is, I have to send a message to convert to the
view coordinate system (That seems to work).  
    My Question:  Is there a way to make a C routine that calls the
NX functions always use the coordinate system of my custom view?

Thanks,
Andrew
