Thanks, Jay, Robert - it was the @ that was my problem. Things like 
that aren't in Help and I couldn't find an example.

I don't mind MyRect.bottom per se - I just used it as an example. I 
was trying to "twiddle" a bunch of rectangles in a loop structure for 
a display of a tank filling.

Minor wish for FutureBASIC 4+: Make scroll wheels work in the edit 
window. I'm so used to my 4-button Logitech wireless mouse that I 
spin the wheel three times before I remember to go to the scroll bar.

If those of you that have multi-button USB mice aren't using USB 
Overdrive or something like it to customize your mouse's extra 
buttons for different applications, you're missing a real convenience
