ToasterPaint has two modes, 1x and 2x. Everything works in 2x mode but when
you go to 1x, many of the functions disappear. I never tried the keyboard
equivs in 1x to see if they would work. The reason for 2x mode is because
Toaster Paint uses a HAM image which can't display 768 x 480 all at once.
The 1x mode tosses out every other pixel and scanline (hence many of the tools
and functions have been crippled). I only rarely use ToasterPaint anymore
and generally turn to DCTV Paint. Unfortunately, DCTV doesn't save IFF24
brushes so I must save off all my brush maps for Lightwave in ToasterPaint
(which tends to mangle odd brush dimensions).
