Yipes. I must look more carefully at the dictionary. I looked for "rect", saw the list of native words that contained it, like "formattedRect", and saw that the syntax for that entry read "get the formattedRect of {card | group}". There is also one for widgets.
So I never thought to look at the actual entry, where there was a syntax option "get the formattedRect of chunk of field".
And Bernd obviously knew that. Anyway, with both the topLeft and botRight of a selection available, the solution becomes MUCH simpler.
So, Jeff, overlays?
