i'm trying to draw the nifty rubber band we all know and love, the one that
is a rectangle defined by the mouse location at the time of button down as
the anchor point and the current mouse location (still with button down) as
the other corner.  i've got the mouse location and drawing the rectangle
alright, but it blanks out my drawing as it goes because i'm calling 
EraseRect do blank out the rectangles outline as the mouse moves.  what's
the right way to do it?  thanks for any help
