Version 1.3 with some new user-friendly features:

* Every time you close PW down, your settings for Grid, Snap, CenterX, CenterY
plus your chosen outline colors for Work and Work in Back shapes are now saved
to the file "Settings.txt". Next time you start up, your settings will be
restored.

* When you use Work in Back to create a new shape on top, the file "Work.txt"
with the background shape is overwritten when you save the new one. In case you
want to keep the background shape, "Work.txt" is now automatically copied to the
file "WorkBack.txt" when you use Work in Back. (You still have to rename the
copy "Work.txt" before you can reload it.)

* In addition to the F1 to F4 keys for nudging your shape 0.1 unit left, up,
down and right, you can now use F5 to F8 for moving it one whole unit in each
direction. This also means that when you trace images for lathe shapes, the
template for precise image placement in relation to the Y-axis becomes
unnecessary. You can just trace the outline anywhere on screen and move it in
place along the Y-axis before writing it as a lathe shape.

* A couple of new shape outline colors, only accessible by keyboard: "3" for
dark gray (Shift-3 for Work in Back shape) and "9" for pink (Shift-9 for Work in
Back shape.)

* Trying to open a non-existent file will now just generate a warning and let
you continue, not crash the program.

* "PointWriterHelp.txt" and "READ_ME.txt" is updated with these changes.
