I tried the Ctrl  while drawing to constrain it.  I'm sure that a book would 
help me, but what I'd rather have is a simpler, more intuitive tool. GIMP is 
very powerful, but not always obvious in it's use.  One of the things I do 
like about PSP, is that a layer can be "objects" like dia, etc. and they can 
be mixed with bitmap layers.
