[net.micro.mac] MacFortran questions

Can anyone tell me the best way to highlight a pixel in MacFortran?
I've been kludging it in the past by drawing a line from one pixel to
itself, i.e.,

                  call toolbx(moveto,m,n)
                  call toolbx(lineto,m,n)

but this is not only unasesthetic, it is also quite slow.  Also, how does
one call the random number generator?

By the way, has anyone else had any trouble getting updated to version 2.1?
I've written letters and everything, but to no avail.

I have version 2.2.  It seems to work ok.  I have never tried to highlight a
pixel so I cannot help there, sorry....
