/** // 
	// Pointer 
	// 
 
	A Pointer is an animated moveable object which displays as 
	just a small box. 
	 
	The cool part is that it draws an arrow pointing to it's child 
	(the object it points to) 
 
	The arrow must be drawn in the parent's Graphics area 
	since we can't make our bounds big enough or we overwrite 
	other screen objects such as other pointers and arrows 
 
	Pointers Use the Observer mechanism to know when the pointee has 
	moved so that we can update our arrow automatically.
