From: chavez%ucbcory@Berkeley (Thomas M. Chavez) Andy Hertzfeld's program that accompanies his Thunderware digitizer allows you to load a MacPaint picture and select any part up to all of it. If you try to select beyond the borders of the screen, the picture scrolls until it reaches the edges of the picture. This program also has some neat graphics touches like toning and gray-scaling, contrast, etc., but some of these only work with scanned pictures. It has one other fun feature--when the hand is being used, if you drag it slong the screen and then release the mouse, the picture continues to scroll at the same rate that you dragged it! It is a sort of moving picture!

I could not figure out a good way to handle it either. What I finally did was to print the letter head from Macpaint, rewind the page offsetting the top of form, and then printing the letter from Macwrite. This is a lousy way to have to do things. I would also like to hear of a better solution. I have two other questions: 1) Does anybody know how do write in the left one-inch border that Macwrite forces on us? 2) Can somebody tell me how to put Macwrite text to the left or right of a Macpaint picture? It seems that if I move a narrow picture from Macpaint to Macwrite, an entire band is made unavailable for text. Tom Linnerooth Sandia Labs -------
