You guys can't always wait on one of us -- we might go get a real life.  (Dave
continually claims he has one, but Dave thinks he's funny at 3 AM after 18
hours of LineEdit and 25 caffiene-filled soft drinks.)

Toolbox Reference Volume 3, page 43-2, "QuickDraw II Error corrections":

"Chapter 16 states that the coordinates passed to the LineTo and MoveTo
calls should be expressed as global coordinates.  In fact, the coordinates
must be local and must refer to the GrafPort in which the drawing or moving
takes place."
