  Using the Edit Pattern Dialog Box

  When you choose Edit Pattern...  from the Options menu, the
  Edit Pattern dialog box appears.

  The Edit Pattern dialog box contains two large boxes.  The
  left-hand box contains the pattern you chose from the palette.

  The right-hand box contains the same pattern magnified.

  While you are editing a pattern, the Edit Pattern dialog
  box has input focus, and the pointer assumes the shape of a
  pencil.

  In the Edit Pattern dialog box, edit the magnified version of
  the pattern to create the effect you want:

  1.  Use the Pencil tool to draw over pixels or click on
      individual pixels.
      When you use the Pencil and click MB1 on a pixel, that
      pixel inverts its color.  The new color of the pixel becomes
      the Pencil color, and until you release MB1, all pixels the
      Pencil passes over take on the color of the pencil.

  2.  To see how the magnified pattern looks without
      magnification, see the left-hand box.  Continue editing
      until you reach the desired look.

  3.  Click on OK.
