[Squeakland] Drawing lines

[Alan Kay]

Hi Gustavo --

Etoys has a preference for this: called "Batching" and "unBatching".

There is a global one that affects the world, but each playfield can be set 
one way or the other. Get out a playfield from supplies, go to its red 
handle menu, look for "playfield options" to get a submenu, and then reset 
the batching item.

Both of these are useful. However, it's clear that this preference should 
be on each line drawing object, and the set and reset should happen in the 
"pen use" category. We will make that change sometime this year.

Best wishes,

Alan
