Martin; I just downloaded updated OpalVision files. Because there were no clear instructions on installing them, I did it by hand (one by one, exchanging for older files). When booting OpalPaint, I get an message on screen stating "can't open key file". I can then proceed with my image work, but none of the key commands (i.e. F10 for hide menu, cursor keys, etc.) work. Can you help me straighten this out? Thanks; Hank

I can't help you with you key file problem but I have a question, what is the version of OpalPaint you downloaded? I think I have 2.3b. Jim R. Ollick Using AP from Bergenfield, NJ

Hello Hank, There should've been a script file called 'Install' in the archive which will install everything. What you're missing is OpalPaint:Prefs/OpalPaint.keys. This file did not exist in previous versions of Opalpaint, so you need to create the Prefs directory and copy the OpalPaint.keys file to that directory. This file contains all the keyboard definitions used by OpalPaint. Martin Boyd, Opal Technology.
