LOL (with all due respect)

Thank you, rich, your answer was all I was looking for.

But that raises another question (which you are free not to give me an answer):
what's the purpose of the buttons "Lock pixels" and "Lock transparency"?
Specially the first, if activating it "locks" pixels *and* transparencies?

Thank you again, anyway!! Wish I had discovered the utility of the Behind Mode
before, that would surely spare me some teeth gnarlings...!
