I'm not sure how that could be. Eventually the command has to boil down 
to "choose eraser tool" by the time it gets sent to the engine.

I vaguely recall a problem in the MC paint tool palette where you 
couldn't choose one of the other tools (pencil, was it?) That got fixed 
and it may be when the eraser broke.

If I put "choose eraser tool" into the message box, I get the pointer 
icon (but it isn't the pointer tool; just the cursor.) The effect of the 
cursor is zero after that -- no selection, no eraser, no nothing.

In Rev, I can enter "choose eraser tool" into the message box and it 
works. Since that pretty much bypasses the IDE, I'm not sure what's 
happening.
