Then you can select `Drawing > Rectangle' from the mouse-2 menu to select rectangle mode, and drag out a rectangle with the mouse ... or if you want to use the keyboard, use `C-c C-a r' to select rectangle mode, and then use RET to start a rectangle, C-b/C-f/C-p/C-n to drag it, and then RET again to finish. It's really quite spiffy... [but that said, the picture-mode behavior you're complaining about sounds like a bug, so I've CC'd this to bug-gnu-emacs] -miles -- I have seen the enemy, and he is us. -- Pogo
