The box I was speaking of is the History box. I finally found out how to get that on the work surface.
One more question that I can't seem to find the answer for. Be gentle...I'm new to this and pretty much of a program dolt.
In a few of the tuts that use layers, I've read now move the layers and go back to (example) layer two. I tried moving a layer and after hitting I think every button on the toolbar gave up, as they didn't move.
Probably right in my face but I haven't found where you find that.
Thanks
