A minor fail, but a bummer nonetheless.

Every tool in Sculptris has a hotkey associated with it, so viewing a 
tool palette is not 100% necessary. Can you undo your work and save it 
as well? If you can save, undo your work, and use hotkeys, then you 
should be good-to-go :) I'm not so sure about entering paint mode though...
