Yes Charles, you're right:
SetPort GetWindowPort(self.MacWindowPtr)
is the correct call, but this didn't work, still no QD graphics display in self
I tried your suggestion to touch the graphics object:
self.Graphics.DrawRect 0,0,0,0
But this didn't work either.
Any other ideas on how to get QD calls to draw in a particular window?

I agree though that this is a PIA. I suggest signing on to this feature
request:

Save them in a folder next to the IDE called "Scripts". I agree that the
current distribution doesn't make this very obvious, since there is no
"Scripts" folder next to the IDE to begin with. So you pretty much have to
glean this information from some other source (like this mailing list).
Once such a folder exists, though, you'll note that the "Save As" command in
the IDE for scripts defaults to that folder. So if the good folks at RS
remember to add an empty Scripts folder to the distribution next time, this
problem would be solved.
Cheers,
- Joe
