OK, thanks for the ideas. I have edited shapes before so that would
seem to be the way to go. I was just asking to see of there was an
easier way.

Can one add connection points to shapes using the GUI or does one need
to edit the shape to do it? I want a rectangle with more than one
connection point on each side.

Maybe I'm being silly (very likely!) but I can't get text into dia at

If I hit Enter in a selected shape then I get the 'I' cursor but as
soon as I type anything the cursor changed to something else and no
text appears.

I thinks that's right. The inexperienced user (me, for example) tends

On my system when I open that file it opens in quite a small window

application does do this. One very often wants to open a
number of files save in the same place and if it's a long way down a

makes this much quicker/easier.

I must admit I have hit this problem before, Dia is a lovely program
and I use it quite a lot, but the difficulty of just creating a
diagram and *printing* it sometimes spoils it.
For creating diagrams that go onto web pages and similar it 'just
