Question (or feature request)

In trying to learn a new character, I often find myself thinking "I recognize the main portion of this character as being from another one that differs only by the radical on the left." For example, when seeing the character bao3 (to be full), I might remember seeing the main portion in the character bao4 (hold/embrace), but I cannot remember the radical for that character. It would be nice if I could draw the main portion by itself, in this case bao1 (wrap), and somehow see a list of all characters that "contain" it (e.g., the aforementioned bao3 and bao4). This would definitely help me learn more quickly.

I was not able to find such a feature, and while it seems far from trivial to implement, I thought I'd bring it up as a suggestion.

Thanks for a great product!

OK, I'm a fool and Pleco is genius. I just now found this great feature as part of the dictionary toolbar.
And I see two more features I'd wanted, the ability to show example words and sentences. Awesome!

I'll try to be more diligent before I post the next time : (
