Anyone here using MICROANGELO? How the heck do you make an icon TRANSPARENT??

I'm demo'ing Microangelo ver. 5.5 and I'm not even sure which
"component" I need to be using to edit a previously-saved icon. I'm in
"Studio" right now, but there's also Toolbox (sheesh, too much trouble
to put them into ONE program? or maybe they call each other; I have no
idea because I've never used the program before). Anyway, I have read
every section of Microangelo's Getting Started + How To's on this and I
just don't get it sigh.

I have a simple 256-color icon that I want to make the background
transparent on. I flooded it with cobalt blue (a unique color to the
rest of the icon's palette) hoping to just, I don't know, click the
damn thing and make it transparent. Well that didn't work lol.

Someone want to help me just get started with this? I can't even
search Eclipsit's forums without first registering :( (which I will NOT
do before first viewing them) so I'm appealing to Usenet for a little
help.

Thanks everyone!

He might well have... just as you've missed that it was cross-posted to
four groups, two of which don't contain 'photoshop' in the group name.

So, not only does he post it to the wrong group, he even crossposts it
to the wrong groups...
