Lines: 25 Here's another "gotcha" with DPaintIII. Turn off the tool box and title bar with F10. Draw something on the screen. Bring back the tool box with F10. Now, have fun trying to make undo work. It doesn't undo anything you draw while the tool box is hidden. A real pain. I hope someone at EA realizes that DPAINT deserves better file requesters than it has. I've even tried assigning their "default" drawer names to directories. No go. Their defaults are not devices, but just drawer names. I finally NewZapped DPAINT and changed all the defaults to device names (ie. "lo-res" to "lo-rs:", "brush" to "brsh:") but still no go. You have to click in the drawer gadget and hit return. What a brain dead user interface to the file system. I think Dan ought to get some help in this area to help polish up Dpaint. I know it would cut down on a lot of aggrivation. -- - Joel E.
