I have used a beta of MacDraw II, so this might have changed... I still use the original MacDraw for drawing everything because I like to be able to select a box and just type the text in the box without selecting any tools. The box is automatically the right size and I don't have to drag a rectangle for the text. I also miss the ability to use the cmd key to use the last command again. I like the hairlines and I have to admit that MacDraw II has not suffered featurism too severily, but I don't think I'll use it for drawing until they return to the good old user interface shortcuts. Why is the keyboard so often forgotten? If the user types something, it should go somewhere. MacDraw and HyperCard are great in this respect. Juri Munkki jmunkki@santra.hut.fi jmunkki@fingate.bitnet
