[PD] Some basic IEM questions

[CK]

I read:
> (1) In gui-menue.pd, there is what appears to be some sort of canvas
> objects, but it shows only a grey rectangle, and I am not sure what its

there should be a hot spot in the upper left corner of the canvas which
will open a properties dialog when right clicked where you can set the
dimensions, label text and font

> (2) In 7-quis-INTRO.pd, how are those red boundary lines drawn? 

they are just very thin canvasses
 
> (3) In many of the IEM help canvases, there are some title drawn in
> different fonts and colors than the normal PD comments. How is this

see (1)
 
hope that helps,
