	o arrow keys supported
	o decimal tabs (?? don't remember if it's already there)
	o (more?) keyboard equivalents for functions
	o supports big screens
	o MultiFinder compatible
	o runs on II, SE, Plus, 512KE
- MacPaint 2.0
	o tear off menus (i.e., you can move the tool pallette and pattern
	  menu around)

	  picture as it appeared in the last snapshot (I think)
