Question:  I want to display a non-rectangular MacPaint image overtop
of some other drawings.  So I create the image, lasso it, cut it to the
scrapbook, use the resource mover to move it to my application, and
draw it with DrawPicture.  Problem:  even though I originally used the
lasso, the full rectangle containing the image is drawn, thus "whiting
out" a rectangular region around the image.  Second attempt:  I copy
the image from the scrapbook, paste it into MacDraw, cut it out again
to the scrapbook, and finally move it to my application.  Now when it
is drawn, the background is visible through ALL parts of the image.
Hmmm.  Would someone tell me how to get the desired result?  Thanks in
advance --
