Bingo!!!

That's it!

And now I have all the pesky little detail dealt with and so I have no
more excuses for not getting lots of drawings done.... *smile*

An incomplete list of the things that I really like - so far:
 * The menus work with the num-lock key on
 * The scroll wheel on my mouse works both while drawing _and_ in the 
	open and write dialogs
 * The one-character keyboard functions (macros) haven't changed!

This is GoodStuff (tm)!
