My email has been swallowed by the worm. I got the resizing to work. I have to use the menu to get to the submenu for the resize/crop tool so I can specify scaling, not rotating. But, it works.
Thanks for the link to Grokking Gimp. I have been using the pdf GIMP manual but this is very unsatisfactory because I can't jump around with links. Grokking is what I need.
