Scott,

I'm not following you.  First, I *think* I've updated my latest  
image, but that itself seems more challenging than the old etoys  
(where, I seem to recall, there was a 'help' in the main menu that  
would update from the server).  Now, it seems, I use the main menu to  
go to the Prefs where I can set 'updateFromServerAtStartup'.   
Regardless, I'm now using etoys2.1 #1565

However, when I open the "pen trails" category of a playfield's  
viewer like you say, all I see are tiles for clear, lift, lower, and  
trailStyle.  Nothing that would seem to help me turn the pen trails  
into objects.

-Randy
