Hi Richard,

My comments are inline.

rgb] When you say instrument, are you speaking of musical instrument, such
as trumpet, saxaphone, etc. If so, that is a great idea if I can figure out
how to create the sounds of musical instruments very very quickly.
PL] Yes. I suspect you will have to use midi.

rgb] I'm not sure what you mean when you say lock the mouse on a shape.
PL] Assume I am on an ellipse. If I move the mouse, it should not cross the
border of that ellipse.

rgb] I can do that.
PL] Thanks.

> 4. Could I use the scroll wheel to move vertically?
>

rgb] Yes, but touchpads don't have scroll wheels.
PL] The one on my laptop has a key which I suspect acts as one but I take
your point.

> 5. At some stage, you willneed to integrate this explorer into the main
> drawing application.
>

rgb] I agree, but I want to get working as a stand-alone program before
getting involved in the complexity of integrating the two programs.
PL] Absolutely!
>
> 6. I can trace the circle but getting to the other shapes and tracing them
> is a challenge.
>

rgb] Do you think it would be easier with a touchpad?
PL] Perhaps since I will not run out of table space to move the mouse.
