Hello,

Thanks again to everyone and their quick work on my question last week.  I 
installed the change set and my color:sees tile can finally see pen trails!  
Unfortunately, I'm still having difficulties getting the pen trails to display 
above my rectangle.  Ned mentioned that this could be another bug - whereas 
Bert recommend a secondary background morph.  Was a fix ever released for 
this? Or is there something I can set within Squeak/e-toys?

Thanks,
Jeff

Or, make the trails be a secondary background morph. Don't fear big 
changes ;-)
