How do I make my gui.drawRectangle function paint a rectangle that will stay while emulation is paused (like in FCEUX or like gui.text)?

I am not familiar with Bizhawk, but if it works like other lua-enabled emualtors, then a function passed to gui.register() will be called every time the screen needs to be redrawn, whether paused or not. If so, you can get a rectangle to stay by doing: 
Language: lua
gui.register(function() gui.drawbox(10,10,20,20,0xff0000) end)
once, before entering the main loop of the script.

unfortunately, there is no gui.register() or something similar to that in Bizhawk, so i think we'll have to wait for a newer version...
Warning: Might glitch to credits I will finish this ACE soon as possible (or will I?)

I have a lua question for BizHawk: What is the correct syntax when using gui.drawImage? I've tried 
imfile="C:\pics\map.png"
gui.drawImage(imstr,30,30,10,10)
but it doesn't work - the lua window does not return an error, so the code passes, but nothing appears on the screen. Can someone help?

I am not a lua programmer per say so I might be way off... But shouldn't the code be the following? 
imfile="C:\pics\map.png"
gui.drawImage(imfile,30,30,10,10)

Ah yes, sorry, that was a typo in the post. The actual code reads as you posted.
