    Thanks for the tip on how to round corners in Adobe Fireworks. I have been using fireWorks for casual editing for some time now but haven’t done any formal training so tips like this help.

    Dang! I’ve been using FW since the beginning (seriously, I was a beta-tester for ver 1), but I guess I haven’t used it enough lately, so I had to search the web to re-learn this “out of the box” feature that (apparently) is often overlooked/unknown by FW users. I’d suggest that one reason it’s “hidden” is the labels FW uses (“Fillet Points,” for goodness sake!). I used quick-help for “rounded corners” (which brings to mind: What is “Fix Rounded Rect Corners?”) It does seem a bit unlike a drawing program to implement it the way FW does. But, hey, who said FW was ever “normal?” It’s quirky, alright, but that’s part of its charm/power.
    As a distraction, I played around with the Path palette (which I’m SO thankful to have been re-introduced to, thanks!), and was especially intrigued and pleased by the bottom section: “Select Points.” In your tutorial, I believe you intimated that one must select individual points one-by-one (no?), but there are icons in this section that allow point selection by proxy, including “Select All Points.” Sweet! . . . There are other cool features/functions in the Path palette. Explore!
