Remarks

hpIPattBox() is included for compatibility with earlier versions of
Escape!. The use of hpIPattBox() is not recomended because it can be
functionally replaced by hpPattBox() with 'I' (for Inches) passed as the
<cUnits> parameter.

Whenever creating custom charts or forms, try using hpIPattBox() to get
that extra 'color'.
