1 -> COMPLEMENT | JAM2
NOBLOCK = Disables Layer locks. If you get lock ups then use this flag.
****************************************
Notes and bugs:
Use middle or right mouse button with this (right is default),
because WB uses left button with it's dragbox..
Workbench Execute command does not work with Dragbox Do NOT use !
And some Workbench prefs programs.
Not very useful when opening windows to other screens than WB
because you get dragbox window to the public screen.
It seems that MUI window sets its Max/Min limits after the window
is opened so the DragBox can't get right limits and you should
only drag and drop the window.
You can remove patches with CTRL-C or sending Break.
WA_InnerWidth,WA_InnerHeight are not supported properly yet.
Time is calculated from INTUITICKS.
If your computer locks up then use NOBLOCK/S switch.
Dragbox quits when:
1. Selected button is pressed and released
2. When coord window is deactived (if you have sunpopup or something, sorry)
3. Keys Return/Esc/Spacebar is pressed
