IOW, somehow it gives you back what's actually there. I think while you have the mouse down, the Rev window is active and the magnifier rect works with the screenshot as you drag it, when you release it freezes what's in the rect and gives you back the real thing. Press the mouse while it's in the rect of the magnifier, and it freezes the background (because it's using the screenshot again) and reactivates Rev (the magnifier). It gives the user the illusion of a DT widget, but it really just toggles reality....I think. I haven't gone over the scripts thoroughly yet, as I have a lot of work to do on my boat today and tomorrow in prep for hauling out in a week or so...one of those tasks that has to be done, I can't put it off any longer.
