Hi ho...

I saw on here recently a passing mention that someone was using code that
produced the MacPaint-like Marquee around a selection. The Johnny Carson theme
comes to mind. But I have been trying, off-and-on, to figure out how to do
just that, given a selection rectangle and a nifty slot to do its thing in
my Event loop.

If anybody has the ah-ha insight on how to do this, I'd really appreciate a
note. Currently I shoved the problem aside and just InvertRect the selection,
which is uuuuuuuugly.

Thanks!

--- Sean
