    ;;; Create a new production & storyboard
    vars p = hip_new_production([]);

    ;;; Set the storyboard window size
    vars sb = p.hipStoryboard;
    500 ->> sb.hipWidth -> sb.hipHeight;

    ;;; and make it visible.
    hip_go(p);

You can't

(Well, not directly anyway. What you could do is create a new storyboard
window which just contains the icon, and then drag that around)

Bothering you in what way?

You can't (annoying isn't it :-)

BTW for any HiPWorks users out there, there is a HiPWorks specific
mailing list out there. Subscriptions to
hiptesters-request@cogs.susx.ac.uk mail to hiptesters@cogs.susx.ac.uk
This list has had zero traffic for several months now.... it would be
nice to create a bit more of a HiPWorks community...

Cheers.
