I would like to automatically paste clipart from one stack/card to another via a script and need a utility that will make a constant output of the mouse's coordinates in a little window so that I can mark the coordinates of the clipart picture. I have seen this utility before and a long time ago for HC 1.2.2 but I have not been able to find it since. If you have it or know where it is, I would appreciate some information.

If you need it to work when the mouse is down you can do something with "on mousedown" and "on mousestilldown."

If you can deal with the result popping up in the message box, you'll get what you want (I think, if I understand it) by simply typint "xy" in the message box. This is a cute little script that hides in the Home Stack, along with some other ("s" and "c", in particular). Actually, there's all kinds of fun stuff in the Claris-distributed stacks that's worth looking at. jking
