BECCA-SKETCH V3.1
(for GW-BASIC)
BECCA-SKETCH V3.1 is an easy to use graphics editor intended
to be used like an "Etch-a-sketch".

BECCA-SKETCH KEYPAD KEY FUNCTIONS:
PF1 COARSE/FINE: Toggles between 10 pixels per keystroke and 1 pixel
per keystroke.

PF4 PEN/GRAY Selects gray as the active drawing color.
KEYPAD- STORE Save current session to a file.
KEYPAD, RESTORE/SCREEN Restores work from file.
ENTER PEN UP/DOWN Raise and lowers pen. (when pen is UP cursor
moves without drawing.
Insert FILL You must put pen "UP" then move cursor to a
Here position that contains a color other then the
selected color, pressing "FILL" fills up to the
selected color. note: Objects must be closed or
"FILL" will "leak" to other areas of the screen,
this is usefull, however for things like changing
the background color.
Re- CLEAR Clear the screen and start over.

********************************************************************************
Some of the changes from V2.0 to V3.1 are:
Addition of diagonal lines.
Use of numeric keys for cursor movement.
Saving keystrokes to a file.
Exit via CNTRL ENTER
Status line keystroke count
Symbolic status line
Autorepeat doesn't "get ahead" of the cursor
Some of the changes I made were based on requests from users.
My ethnocentricity has been corrected by replacement of English
words by symbols, and I added an exit function.
As I add more features to BECCA-SKETCH, I find that the per-
formance is beggining to suffer. Before adding more features
like, text insert and cut and paste, I plan to do a complete
rewrite, to make up for extremely sloppy programming technique.
This is not as much fun as adding features so I can't say when
I'll get to it.
If you have copied BECCA-SKETCH from my account please send me
mail letting me know your name the and ages of your kids, and
your location.
Also feel free to send me mail with your comments and
suggestions, and whether or not your kids liked and used
BECCA-SKETCH.
**************************************************************************
Thanks for all the mail. I've been using a map of the
world to show Becca where other children are using the
program that was named after her. She seems to like the
idea, but I doubt she understands just how far her program
has gotten.
