    I had planned the changing of selected symbols as a feature but I 
noticed that I sometimes forgot to de-select as symbol too when I was 
intending to add a new one and the selected symbol got changed.
    I am thinking that maybe I will change the program so that it won't 
change selected symbols automatically, when choosing a new symbol, by 
default, it will add a new symbol.  But if somebody wants to change a 
selected symbol they can do a special keystroke or menu list to changed 
a selected symbol.  Do you think that might fix the problem?

In the present version, you can print the document.  If you print it to 
a PDF printer, you can send someone else the document in PDF format.  I 
was thinking of doing an export to a graphics file but I haven't made 
one yet.  Do you have any suggestions as to how you think it could 
work?  As far as size of graphic, etc?  Do you think the receiving 
person will want to see it on a screen of have it the size for printing 
on a piece of paper or viewing on a DVD?

OK that's a bug.  The signs should show up.  I will look into it.

Thanks for you help

P.S. the help file has the keystrokes. Each part of the editor has 
different keystrokes.  If you right click on the sign area you get a 
context menu.
