Thanks a lot. I have added your script to 'plug-ins' sub-directory of my
profile as given by your installation instructions at the web-site and made
the script executable (711). But how do I use it? I am afraid, i am not an
expert. I just have a working knowledge of GIMP and linux. I use these as
vehicles for my books. Could you please take a little time out from your
busy schedule to explain the nitty-gritties how the scripts should be used.
Also please illustrate or otherwise explain the technique "Set brush size
to default
> value"/"tools-paint-brush-size-set-to-default".

Thanks & Regards,
