Many thanks to all who replied to my question about AddResMenu. It was
as dumb a mistake as I had suspected. I forgot to coerce 'DRVR' into a
ResType. <Although I must hasten to note that the sample instructional code
I was reading didn't do that either!>
anyway, changing "AddResMenu(gAppleMenu, 'DRVR')"
to: "AddResMenu(gAppleMenu, (ResType) 'DRVR')"
fixed everything. Thanks again.
And now, another silly question I can't find documented. No sample (quasi-)
instructional code to look at this time either...
What global sets the mode for displaying a PICT? I'm using DrawPicture, all
the PICTs are valid, as well as the port, and rect. When I draw two PICTs that
overlap, they sort of OR themselves on top of each other. I want the second
one to completely obscure the first (or, rather, to obscure the first wherever
they might intersect)
I can do this with DrawText by setting TextMode to zero. I tried the same
with PenMode, no luck.
So, do I have to use another way of clearing intersecting regions before
displaying the second PICT?? That seems like the sort of thing that would have
a much easier solution. But, of course, *I* haven't found it...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

PS: This is my last stumbling block in the entire program. Everything else is
nice & straightforward. (Well, as close as I could have expected it to have
been, anyway.)
Thanks in advance.
