- FIX Locks the current picture information into memory. When you Fix
- the Background, anything can be painted over it without changing
- it. Any work you do after fixing the Background can be erased by
- selecting Clr without affecting the Fixed picture. When the
- Background is Fixed, however, no colors that match the current
- Background color can be picked up. Locking the Background is
- memory intensive.
-
- FREE Unlocks the current Background, so that it can be altered and can
- be erased. All memory allocated to storing the Background
- information will be freed.

- LOCK FG This provides an additional way to define a `Stencil`. Normally
- a stencil is defined by color information. When you lock
- a color, you prevent it from being painted on no matter where it
- is on the page. Selecting Lock FG while using the Fix Background
- option will allow you to define a Stencil by area. When Lock FG
- is selected, all areas on the page that have been added since the
- Background was last fixed are defined as the Stencil. These
- areas can't be painted on regardless of the colors in them.
