I have PSP 5.00 loaded on my machine. I have made several attempts to start using it as my default graphics editing package, but each time I get put off by the complexity of learning how to use it.

Today I decided I would have anonther go. All I am trying to do is create a pair of parallel lines (at an angle of 60 degrees). So having created a single line in a brand new image, I want to select the line, (and only the line) copy, and paste it right beside itself.

I know I can select it using the lasso type tool, but that requires a steady hand. I also know that I could make the background transparent, but I don't want to do that either, as I gather it makes some other features of PSP unavailable.

Is there a method to select just a single blue line (without having some of the surrounding white background included). I want to lay it very close to the original, so I don't want that being obscured by bits of white background.
 
I've never used PSP 5 so I'm not sure if layers were already available but if you can work with layers then all you have to do is create the first line in a layer (not as a background) and then duplicate this layer.

If you want some tutorials for this version maybe you'll be able to find at
Depending on what kind of graphic editing you want, I would also suggest that you download the trial version of PSP X (10) at
