Both of these also provide a way of specifying units.

You can also drag the selected rectangle to the desired location, and re-size the selected rectangle by dragging one of its corners.

Could not figure out what you were saying.  Thank you anyway!  Gimp
is a nightmare to operate!

I did eventually figure it out.  Here are my notes,

-T


Gimp: create a rectangle:

   1) select foreground color

   2) use the rectangular selection tool

   3) draw a rectangle

4) Edit --> Stroke Selection (or similar) at the bottom and stroke your selection.

   5) Note: you can size/move it right after creation



Gimp: move/size a rectangle:

1) Select -> Selection Editor (open selection tool box on the lower left)

   2) In the Selection Editor tool box, select "Rectangle Select"

   3) Select the rectangle in question. Corners and centers will open
      for dragging and moving

   4) press enter when happy or "Esc" to cancel
