Hi Martin,

Thanks for these points. Can you clarify what you mean by using right mouse
click when drawing scraps? I thought I covered the right-mouse menus for
setting line options. Was there something specific I've missed, or not
clear enough mention of context menus when drawing?

I'm not sure where group transparency is applied in the PDFs. I see
transparency working for overlying passages and for boulders drawn over
area fills. At least I see it in Sumatra and FoxIt readers, but not in
Adobe Acrobat Reader. Can you give examples of features where I can check
whether it is working?

Convert to curve is a good one. I'll find a place to add that in as I've
seen a few people struggle with drawing beziers directly when we run out
training courses.

Thanks,
Footleg
