Hi folks,
Sounds right to me, except that in my copy of AV 3.2 the little box you
have to click on is on the _LEFT_ of the View (i.e. the Mapper in MI
language), in a panel that is called the "Table of Contents", on a
sub-panel called the "Legend". Unlike MI, the theme (layer in MI) comes in
in a randomly selected color, and AV doesn't remember what the color was
last time it was brought in.
