...is a way to pass arbitrary rectangular areas to an outside program.  The
current

	exec("blort", entry1, entry2, entry3, ...)

works, but it's a pain in the butt to pass more than a few arguments.  What
I want to be able to do is something like

	exec("blort", entry1:entry2, ...)

and have it pass all the entries in that rectangle.

Any volunteers?
