Arthur, I'm no help on this one, at all - but, I'm very interested in what you find. While the pencil and paper route is still working for me (I see you can do it with a pen, but I often have to erase bits and redraw or rewrite them), it would be grand to have a sketching tool such as you describe. I'll be watching this thread attentively.
