I have been switching between using the Toolbox SeedFill routine and
my own flood fill routine. I definiately had selected white when using
the SeedFill, but maybe I missed setting the colour for my own fill
routine. Thanks for picking that up. I'll look into it tonight. By the
way, the SeedFill routine works well too, but doesn't give the visual
feedback like my routine does -  SeedFill just sits there doing
nothing for a few seconds and then "hey presto" the colour appears all
of a sudden. From my experience watching my daughter, kids prefer
seeing the picture being coloured in, hence I reverted to using my own
flood fill routine.

I did manage to replicate the lockup problem on my ZipGSX accelerated
IIgs. I too believe it is to do with the sound and I am looking at
ways to fix the problem. I *think* I need to add extra an delay
between switching songs. If I put in a keyboard command to switch
sound on/off (e.g. the 'S' key), would that suffice?

thanks,
Mike
