@3dwizzard:

Background: It's possible to put a movie in the background -- just tried it to make sure --and there's a sequence option, too. The Origin button in the tools window is visible by default, at least in my version, a recent 32 Win download from graphicall.org.

You're right about the "Add Tools" option missing. I thought that was a useful feature and don't think they should have gotten rid of it. Still, hit the spacebar and a tool search box comes up. Start typing the name of the tool you want, and it shows up there.
