[mapguide-users] fusion - default tool selected?

[Andrew DeMerchant]

hmm.....so that would involve editing the Select widget and the 
ApplicationDefinition.xml - but in my case, since I'm using Studio / 
Maestro, there IS no ApplicationDefinition.xml file to edit, is there? . 
Surely there's got to be some way to do it just from that init function. 
Is there some link that you know of to get the API?
