Paul:

I have a program that draws in the area you mentioned. In fact, the window
has a scroll bar that doesn't go all the way across the bottom of the
window leaving a blank portion. In the portion that doesn't have a scroll
bar, there is a text box that displays coordinates as the user moves the
mouse. I can send you that program if you want. It is a standard FB program
(non-PG) and you should be able to figure out how I did it. However, the
program is 1 meg in size (with data).

The program does a lot more than just draw text in scroll bar area. It
shows how to set up a preference file, store things in the resources, keep
track of where the window was, hide things in PICT files, and a host of
other things. As well as showing 2D seismic data displays, which it was
designed for.

PS: If several people want this program, then I'll post the source code to
the FBwebring.
