Sensei,

The feelers are regaining their original composure. Thank you very much for the clarification of both the nickname, and the paint ideas... you've certainly given some great tips for us all to run with.

I'm a long-time windows user but have never played much with paint. If it can do all you say, it certainly is more powerful than I thought. The pronto-programming addiction is returning and this could certainly be another long night!

Again, your help is most appreciated and I'll post any sites with good graphics, etc. so that others might benefit from my effort.
