Many thanks to the people who sent responses to my last
set of questions.  Now I've got a few more - mostly about
Intuition:

    1.  There is no support in Intuition for drawing
	an Image structure in something like "COMPLEMENT"
	mode for IntuiText.  I COULD use DrawImage() and
	then something like DrawRect() (I forget the name)
	in COMPLEMENT mode, but this would probably flash
	the display.  I would prefer to use the graphics
	functions to take the same data from my Image
	structure and draw it in whatever mode I like,
	but I can't find any simple graphics function(s)
	to do this.  (Do I have to use QBlit?).

    2.  I would like to make a "fader" Gadget that looks a little
	bit more interesting than the ones I've been able to
	get Intuition to produce.  I already have my own knob
	image, but it still has a bland	looking border
	around the select box and I can't seem to put any pattern
	in the slider area (the knob will just erase it).  While
	I'm usually against comparing, the M*C programs I've seen
	usually have more aesthetically pleasing proportional gadgets.
	Any suggestions?

    3.  Is there a "canned" function to print the screen to
	the printer somewhere?  If not, any PD source examples?

Thanks for any help ....
