It seems unusual that there is a function to get the color of the pixel under the mouse, but no function to get the color of an arbitrary pixel.
I'm _sure_ there must be something like: get the color of pixel 240,360 which would put the triplet "0,0,0" into it, if (240,360) is a black pixel, or "255,255,255" into it if (240,360) is a white pixel. Please, don't tell me to write a function like this: function convolutedGetPixelColor aPoint set the screenMouseLoc to aPoint get the mouseColor return it end convolutedGetPixelColor Why would this be stupid? Obviously, because if I need to iterated over a _Large_ range of pixels, the user might get worried something had gone wrong, and bump/wiggle his cursor to see if the computer had frozen. Having wiggled the cursor, he just set the mouseLoc to a different Loc halfway through my giant repeat loop that checks all the pixels. So, please tell me I'm missing some function that does "the Right Thing", and not that mouseColor & screenMouseLoc is the _wonderful_ "Meta" way of doing it.
