Functional Overview

Click a palette color and then draw in the drawing area. You can hold down the mouse button to draw, or click individual pixels.
The right mouse button erases.
The grid can be toggled on/off.

50% mode allows you see more, but (due to constraints in DOS) drawing isn't easy in this mode. So it's more for an overview.

Zoom

You can toggle full-screen editing with F11, or the Maximize icon in the titlebar.

Full-screen

Show will render your whole drawing, scaled to fill the screen in graphics mode.
