real newbie question.

[Andrew Scotchmer]

Hi,

I've just subscribed to the list in the hope of learning more about how to use
this marvelous piece of software.

My question isa real newbie on.  I have the new Gimp v1.1.24 and was wondering
how do you draw straight lines.  The normal Alt+click doesn't work.

Also is there a cicle drawing tool in Gimp as I need to draw circles for a
piece of art I'm doing.

I know these are really easy questions but please understand I am new.

Thanks in advance,

Andrew
