Having FINALLY received my copy of the pre-release and having a few days to
play aroung with it, I have a couple of questions for anyone else with the
pre-release:

1) In modeler, is there any key which will cancel the currently selected tool?
   For example: I select several points and turn on the move tool with 't'.
   I move the points.  I cannot unselect the points until move is turned
   off.  I cannot find a key to turn off move so I have to use the mouse to
   do it.  I have been through the manual several times and cannot find an
   appropriate key (Esc would seem to be the logical choice, but that does not
   seem to have any effect outside of requestors).

Questions requarding possible bugs (I'd like to know if these are just me
or if others have seen the same thing):

2) In modeler I load an object which has attached polygons (one of the
   spaceship sample objects for example).  If I try to display it in the
   preview window using either frontface or solid, modeler exits with a
   Win32s "Unhandled exception" error.  If I detach the polygons the object
   displays with no problems.

3) In layout I have had several cases where the machine reboots during
   rendering (not crashes, actually reboots as if I had hit the reset button).
   In all cases I have been rendering with the "in progress" window turned
   on (test rendering to see the affect of different settings, etc).

I am using LW on a Pentium 66 with 16Mb RAM, and a ATI graphics Ultra Pro
at 1024x768 at 256 or 64K color mode.  Overall I've been quite impressed
with the pre-release.
