  My very first version moved objects around using the ->Move() method (it
  was very clunky and limited).  Then Aldo showed me how to use a Paint
  method which add more flexibility.  I then released v0.01 which has the
  functionality I listed below.

  feedback is good.  What you like, don't like, what you think would improve
  it.  Give me a few weeks to release the version I'm working on now.

  I should also put together a web page with screen shots, documentation 
  and link to download the program.

  I don't know where I would put this page - I'll have to ask my boss if 
  it is ok to host it on one of our servers.
