Hi!  This is a posting for a friend (who has no net access-- all responses
  can be sent to me.)
They just bought an A2000 educational discount package two months ago,
and just recently bought DeluxePaint III.  However, when they try to
use it, they can't do animation.
  On the intro screen, when you choose your screen/color options, in the
lower left corner where it usually has the "SWAP  ALL" options, there is
nothing.
  Sometimes when I run DPIII and my memory is low, it likewise doesn't
give me the option SWAP ALL.  Both when that happens to me and when it
happened to them, the animation menu become unselectable ghost-type.
  The trick is, they should have memory to burn.  After boot-up, they
can't get the animation menu even with 750,00K free, nothing unusual
running, in a new A2000 with 1 meg internal (all of it chip ram because
of the fatter agnus).  So... is there a problem with their machine (i.e.
it's warrenty time) or is DPIII not fat agnus compatible or what?
                        thanks,          sandy
