I'm glad to see the added information in this thread. I've just spent 
several hours reading the online manual for Gimp. The writer of the doc 
appears to have a native language of French, and there are many spelling 
and grammar errors, but for the most part it is decipherable, and I've 
learned a lot, and even applied it to making a new logo for my Ray's 
Links site.

His advanced tutorials do fall a little short on the point of 
understandability 'though, so I'm hoping the Grokking the Gimp book I 
installed from Synaptic can help in that regard.

Later, Ray Parrish
