You can't modify FullPaint, but you can fix the MacPaint pictures so that they will launch FullPaint. What you need is a utility like MacTools (which comes with Copy II Mac) which will allow you to change the creator of a file. First, look at FullPaint and find out what its 4 character file type is (or somebody on this forum may know ...). Then modify the creator of your MacPaint files to that file type. Then, double-clicking on the MacPaint pictures will launch FullPaint. Once MacPaint pictures have been opened with FullPaint, by the way, you can save them as FullPaint files (with the Save option from the File menu). From then on they will be completely FullPaint files and will have forgotten that they were once MacPaint files. That's just about as easy as changing their creator.
