I just drew a simple picture with DPaint II this a.m. (ok, enough applause), 2 color (b&w), full page mode. During the creation of the picture, I was able to scroll the "page" with the cursor keys as one would expect. I saved the pic to disk and started printing a copy. I realized that I had left a minor detail out of the pic so I clicked the STOP gadget which promptly called the guru (perhaps another discussion?). After rebooting, I loaded the picture so I could make the necessary changes. I was quite surprised to find that the cursor keys no longer worked as they had when creating the picture. Cursor motion was restricted to a pixel at a time and further constrained to the boundaries of the screen. The "n" key (center at cursor) was the only apparent means of positioning to a new location on the page. I know, if I RTFM from front to back, I MAY find the magic words I'm looking for, but I'm sure there's an answer out there just waiting for this question. What toggles the cursor scroll mode from single pixel to "coarse mode" (my terminology) ? Just for the record - I'm amazed by this program! I wish I were creative enough to exploit all of its capabilities. Thanks in advance for your help. -- | Mark R.
