In MacPaint 1.3 (don't know about 1.0): Select a region.  Move it on top of
another object; move it away and the bits beneath it are still there.  Move
it back on top of the other object, and go into fatbits by pulling it down
from the Goodies menu.  Provided the selected region is small enough to fit
in the fatbits window, it remains selected; but now moving it reveals that
the bits underneath it have been erased!  It is as if the region has be
de-selected (moving the object there permanently) and then the identical
region re-selected.

(You have to go into fatbits by pulling it down from the menu, since
clicking or double-clicking on the pencil de-selects your selection.)
