Hi Judy, Have you see how "configurable" is the interface of Macromedia FreeHand MX? In the computer classroom, last week, i noticed the most bizarre behavior from FreeHand MX. Every student "done" and "undone" the MX interface at will, so in the end, i had to spend the first 15 minutes every day to return FreeHand to the state of the previous day. And some days, it was necessary to reinstall the program, to revert all changes... :-( I don't know how easy is for other teachers to cope with this situation in computer labs. Fortunately, PhotoShop do not allows this Freedom of GUI, so i do not waste time returning it to a previous state. :-) al Visit my site: http://www.geocities.com/capellan2000/ ____________________________________________________ Yahoo!
