Hypercard and Supercard do something unexpected when I try
to make a polygon from a script. I use:

choose polygon tool	-- (SC choose draw polygon tool )
click at 100,100
click at 100,200
click at 200,100
click at 100,100

but what happens is that after the first click, the first
side of the ploygon is connected to the cursor, and both
programs wait for me to manually click to finish the poly
instead of getting the remaining clicks from the script.
Any ideas?

Also, is there a way to specify a newly created object?
How can I name, or otherwise talk about something thats
brand new?

doMenu "New Button"
set the name of button ??? to "junk"
