Locator points not working in Manipulate calling RegionPlot, etc.

No matter what I do, in terms of wrapping with DynamicModule, avoiding 
using variables from a module in an enclosed Dynamic or Manipulate, I 
can't get this very basic example to work. I just want to be able to 
drag around 4 points to set the quadrilateral, and then hatch all the 
subtriangles formed by drawin lines to the sides of the quadrilateral 
from the point T.  House of trying everything I could think of have 
failed to get the Locator points to work.

Any help hugely appreciated.
