That's it, you've found it! Thanks VERY much.

The brush is set to 8 by default, and the eraser is set to 2. But they 
don't work until you specifically set them again. So from the message 
box, this now works:

set the eraser to 5;choose eraser tool

and bingo, I have an eraser. Thanks Jeanne. It was just the mental nudge 
I needed.
