Several people on comp.sys.next.programmer have pointed to /usr/lib/NextStep/windowPackage.ps as an example of how to implement a rubberband rectangle on the NeXT computer. But no one that I know of ever went beyond saying that it could be done. This package contains source code and a demo app for an Objective-C Rubberband rectangle object class. It uses the same postscript code that the window manager uses to draw the dotted lines when you resize standard windows (literally the same code is invoked). For you it turns the Rubberband rectangle into an easy four lines of code (alloc, stretch, w getrect, and free). Have fun. I hope someone will find this useful.
