I'm writing a C program that uses the graphics and intuition libraries,
and I have a couple of questions which the (Addison Wesley) RKMs were not
able to clear up.  If you know the solution(s), please reply; I'll summarize.

1.  Is the code fragment on p127 of the Intuition Manual for processing a
    menu event correct?  When I use it, and extend-select (select more than
    one item from a menu strip), my event handler gets in an infinite loop.
    I looked through a lot of the PD source code I've collected from BBSs and
    none of them pay attention to NextSelect.

2.  After using SetAfPt() and SetDrMd() to do subsequent fills with a bi-
    color pattern, I want to go back to using a solid color.  Must I use
    SetAfPt (with a pattern of say, {0xffff, 0xffff}), or is there a more
    proper way of resetting it?

Thank you, thank you, oh, thank you!
