Another request

[David Kasprzyk]

Hello Warren:

Sorry I've been less responsive, but as a teacher at UW you must 
understand how much work we students sometimes have.  I was also gone 
all weekend so I unfortunately feel behind on the emails.

Anyways, I'll be filing both of your requests into our database for our 
programmers to look over.  I could see how both of these would be very 
useful for specific diagrams.  In the mean time you may be able to 
improve your ability to maintain line direction by turning on the grid.  
This will allow you only a certain range of options for the line to 
point.

If you have any additional comments or questions please feel free to let 
us know and we will be happy to assist you.

Sincerely,

David Kasprzyk
