I am not sure if it has been changed in HC 2.0 (I haven't tried it yet),
but HC 1.2.x did not allowed to use the polygon tool from a script,
it is not described in Hypercard Script Language Guide, but the Tricks
of Hypercard Masters actually say that explicitly - "No polygons from
the script!!!". Actually you cannot catch any events during from the
polygon drawing events either. You can get a polygon drawing XCMD from
your local ftp site (must be closed though).
