A recent suggestion in one of  the  Digests  indicated  that Full 
Paint (a super MacPaint from Ann Arbor  Software) has a different 
creator  field  than MacPaint and hence won't be  launched  if  a 
MacPaint  document files is double-clicked (MacPaint gets opened, 
instead).    He  recommended  changing  the creator-field on  the 
document files from MacPaint's MPNT to FullPaint's  PANT, perhaps 
even changing the applications that create the picture  files  to 
do this as a default.

What I'm  wondering  is  why  not  change  the  creator  field of 
FULLPAINT, itself from PANT to MPNT?   If  MacPaint is NOT on the 
disk  (and  I  don't  recall anything that MacPaint can  do  that 
FullPaint won't),  wouldn't  this  work as well, and only require 
ONE  change,    not  multiple  changes  to  all  picture-creating 
applications?

And now a question of my own:

Full Paint seems to be an excellent superset of MacPaint, but the 
one thing I expected and can't seem to  get  working is automatic 
scrolling  of  the  window  when the mouse hits the  edge.    For 
instance, if I have a part of the picture displayed  and  want to 
"Select"  an  area larger than that displayed, I "should" be able 
to just run the mouse into the appropriate edge of the window and 
have the window's contents scroll away, bringing the new material 
into the window, with  my  selection rectangle continuing to grow 
to encompass it.

Am I doing something wrong?
