Paint Shop Pro 5 - Image edges

Hi Folks,
A query to which there will be a simple answer - I hope!
How do I create square/rectangular images in Paint Shop Pro V5 with "rounded" corners. I would have thought there would be a toolbar option but I can't find anything - or maybe I'm not looking hard enough.
Can anyone suggest a solution?

*wow* ... i can't believe this functionality doesn't appear to be in PSP5! i think i've found a solution, though. hope you can piece it together to make it work for you.

1. use the rectangular selection tool and select a rectangular area on an image. (best to have feathering off).

2. select 'Selections' > 'Modify' > 'Expand' and enter the figure 10.

3. hit 'Ok' and you'll see that it expands the rectangular selection in a rounded-corners manner. now you could either copy the shape and paste it elsewhere, or invert the selection and delete the surrounding area.

a bit clumsy i admit, but perhaps you can play round with it to make it work for you.

curious... we have psp5 installed in the office, and by following these steps it works. good luck finding another solution (i'm out of ideas, sorry!). maybe you should consider upgrading to psp7 which has this tool??
