Re: [Gimp-user] Erasing to background color

[DaveC <davec2468 yahoo com>]

Hello,
This is a new question, not an answer to the original question I asked. 

When asking a new question, 
1. Open a new mail message (Cmd-N usually)
2. type the Gimp mail list address
3. type the new subject 
4. type your question
5. send it. 

Do NOT ask your question by replying to another message—this is known as HIJACKING a subject and is not 
appreciated. If you’re not answering the original question, you’re HIJACKING the subject.
