Well, I tried as all of you suggested and the results were thus: there is no color listed for lines, curved, straight or circles: select all won't help me place any lines as it only changes colors of things already drawn. I can do that in the describe objects dialog box: Zandoz gets my undying gratitude. The display options box showed the color layers 'other' box unchecked and when I checked it, the lines came out blue, which is the default color for layer 1. I don't remember unchecking that box. I hope it doesn't do it automatically. Too bad tutorials aren't written for us dummies. Thanks to all. Bob T (another kentuckian)
You didn't do anything wrong...it's just part of the learning curve. I batteled the same issue getting started.
Reality...an interesting concept with no successful applications, that should always be accompanied by a "Do not try this at home" warning.
Hundreds of years from now, it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove...But the world may be different because I did something so bafflingly crazy that my ruins become a tourist attraction.
"Oooh...ahhhh...that's how this all starts...but then there's running...and screaming..."
Under the Options menu item is a Colors option (last option on my version 3.1.4). The Colors option should give you various options to change colors for, including Normal Track. Mine is set to black.
