- Well, not too surprising that it's FrameRect. Basically, you can set the draw
- mode to Xor and draw each rectangle twice. (The first draws it and the second
- erases it.) This way you don't have to mess with saving anything. Just make
- sure you draw it exactly the same twice and it'll be gone...
