First (as already suggested) check out the examples on the FB disk.

THEN... FIRST PLAN WHAT YOU WANT
	- menus, tools, drawing area, save options, etc.
	- variables and how they are used
	THEN WRITE THE CODE IN SECTIONS FOR EACH TASK

If you really can do it easily in RealBasic as you indicated, then  
that is what I suggest you do. If you want to learn to do it in FB,  
don't expect someone here to write it all from scratch for you; you  
have to start yourself - study the examples and decide what you want  
to do in your program. So far, you have not provided very much detail  
outside of "I want to have a drawing area in my program" which is far  
too general.

As mentioned a month or two ago when you first asked, this could be  
another case study if you want. But as indicated, more details are  
needed; you can't achieve a goal without knowing what it is.
