I have several programming questions which I cannot find simple answers to,
and which I expect some wise person on the net can answer quite quickly.
Here goes:

1)  Is there any way to "remove" quickdraw calls from a picture definition?
      (clearly one could build a list of the quickdraw calls, and rebuild
       the picture, but I'm looking for something simpler).

3)  I defined a simple modal dialog with ResEdit, and put the following 
     code in a procedure:

VAR
   t_ptr : dialogptr;

BEGIN
   t_ptr := getnewdialog(dial_num, NIL, windowptr(-1));
   showwindow(t_ptr)

I get the dialog (mostly) just fine.  But for some reason, the STATIC
text items did not appear!  I defined them as DITL items which were static
text, and non-enabled.  I have further, another dialog in which only some
items appear (the static and editable text do not), and when I try to
highlight one of the items, the system gets an address error (it seems to
be getting a bad address back from the getditem call.

Any ideas?  I appreciate any and all help.  Posting, or E-mail.
