     The program does not seem to allow changing the size of the capture
rectangle.

     My guess is that the reason for not allowing a change is that the capture
rectangle matches the small 'actual size' rectangle in the Shape Editor. This
makes a convenient fit for transferring screen image snips to the Shape Editor.

     The Shape Editor could be a little easier to use-- for example, you should
be able to load-in a shapes file from a list instead of needing to type in the
file name. On the other hand, it's a very good editor and it beats the heck out
of typing in shape vectors by hand!
