9 Tips to make PageDraw 1.7 fun and easy to use.
    ------------------------------------------------

1.  To find out what a toolbar button is for, rest your mouse 
    pointer on the button for a few seconds. A brief description 
    of the button's purpose will appear on the status bar.

2.  If your PC has fast graphics hardware, you can edit in preview
    mode. If your PC is relatively old, for best performance, you
    must edit with Preview turned off. Use Preview mode only to
    change color, pattern, or to make other final adjustments.
    To turn Preview on or off, choose Preview from the View menu.

3.  To move an object, click on the edge of the object (not inside
    the object) and drag. To edit an object, first select the object
    then drag any handle.

4.  The shift key can modify the action of many tools. For example,
    you can add more objects to a selection by holding down the
    shift key while using the selection tool.

5.  What to do if you find rotation, scaling, skewing or reflection
    hard to control: After clicking the 'origin' point (the point 
    around which you want to rotate, scale, skew or reflect), move 
    the mouse away from the origin horizontally and vertically, then 
    click anywhere and drag. The farther you move the mouse away from
    the origin, the better the control.

6.  You can view and edit a drawing in portrait or landcape mode.
    Choose Orientation from View menu.

7.  To edit existing text, select the text tool and click on the
    baseline of the text you would like to edit.

8.  PageDraw uses a subset of the PostScript language for saving 
    files. If you know the PostScript language, PageDraw's file
    format is self-documenting. PageDraw's file format is similar
    to the Adobe Illustrator 88 file format. PageDraw can read most
    drawings in Adobe Illustrator format. You can ftp AI format 
    documentation from ftp.adobe.com. If you are a programmer you
    can make your application generate files in AI format, and 
    PageDraw will be able to read and edit them.
    Also, you can use PageDraw to edit arbitrary PostScript files
    by converting the PostScript file to AI format using Ghostscript.
    (See PS2AI.WRI).

9.  And finally, if you would like to uninstall PageDraw, just delete
    all the files in PageDraw directory. PageDraw 1.7 does not create
    or modify any files in your Windows directory. (Why aren't all 
    programs this nice?)
