  18. I haven't tried it, but perhaps the CreatePolyPolygonRgn() function is
  19. what you want; from the manual:
  20.  
  21.    The CreatePolyPolygonRgn function creates a region consisting of
  22.    a series of closed polygons.  The polygons may be disjoint, or
  23.    they may overlap.
  24.  
  25. Now, I wonder if there is a CreatePolyPolyPolygonRgn() for a series
  26. of series of closed polygons :-)
