I have recently installed PCpaintbrush+ on my TANDY 1000SL
(640K + 42 Meg HD).

On distribution disk 4, were two ".PCX" files.  For practice,
I tried loading these into PCpaintbrush+.  The first (biplane.pcx)
would not load because the TANDY graphics adapter only does 16 colors.
The second wouldn't load because of number of colors. Selecting the
INFO option tells me that it is a two color drawing ( 640x720x2 ).
I restarted using cgabw.bat that calls PCpaintbrush up in 640x200x2
mode. When I try to load the second ".PCX" (waterfal.pcx), the screen
goes blank!!!  No mesagges just blank. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHY THE 
SCREEN GOES BLANK?  I had to use ctl-alt-del to continue.

Thanks in advance. Please E-mail.
