how do they work exactly? if you draw half a shape and then take the pen off, how do you know where to start off again? does the software load an icon down where the time is on the taskbar? thanks

Mine shows the curser the same as you get with the mouse, although I do find using it strange compared with the mouse I'm used to, it takes a bit of practice I think, and I haven't got much time to play at the moment. Wayne |

As far as moving your pen (cursor) when you're in the middle of drawing something or selecting something with a lasso tool for example, just press the space bar which will turn the cursor into the hand tool. This will allow you to move your pen or entire hand, even completely away from the tablet and you won't lose your selection or finish it to early. Also, this allows you to navigate your image moving it up, down or where ever should you need to. This also works with the mouse. Pretty handy, I use it all the time, specially when I'm zoomed way in on something.
