- I bet you added the colorFill routine to your startup handler. You need
- to pass startUp on up the hierarchy to the home stack. The home stack
- calls GetHomeInfo which sets up the userLevel and other prefs such as
- blindTyping.

- I use SuperPaint and I've produced some nice results. Nothing like
- SuperPaint, a color scanner, and a rainy Saturday afternoon to bring out
- those creative urges.
