Okay, here comes my next salvo of St questions...

1)	This is a strange one.  I wrote a routine that works like
	graf_dragbox (Drags a rectangle within a bigger rectangle
	until the button is lifted.)  The difference is that I had it draw
	a raster image instead of a rectangle.  (I am doing cut and paste
	stuff, and this is how I paste, by dragging the bits and stop when
	I PRESS the button (instead of lifting it.))  I use vq_mouse to
	monitor the mouse coordinates and the button state.  The problem is
	that when I click the button, the AES queues an event.  I tried just
	flushing the button click event by doing an evnt_button afterwards,
	but the event is not always a click.  If the mouse happened to be
	positioned over a "full box" on a window, the AES would queue
	a window full request.  So, the question is, is there any way to stop
	the event accumulation?  How is graf_dragbox written?

2)	I want to patch an Alt-Help driver into memory.  Someone told me
	that the Alt-help vector was at $502.  I figured the best way was
	to use a terminate and stay resident program that would set the
	vector, and sit around.  BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE PTERMRES()!
	How do I find the value of the amount of memory to keep?  Help!

3)	I'm still looking for line-A TextBlt code.  Any example of TextBlt
	that works will be GREAT!
