        OK OK, that is how it's done in present.
        What I was asking was: how do we send BIG regions across BPortLink?

        :-)) No I wasn't. :-)
        Yes this is similar with regions. And, this is a problem too.
        What happens with a big BShape or BPolygon?

        I think I have an idea about this. What about a protocol in protocol? 
Have to digest this a bit first...
