Long time no see...

I was just playing with the new Xara Pro+ to see if it's something I should purchase or not, and I tried to add a button to the toolbar on the left. I opened the button pallet, Alt dragged the pen tool to the toolbar and close the application, and relaunched it. Unfortunately the tool wasn't there. I tried this about 3 times and no dice. This used to work to add a button permanently to the toolbar. Is there a new process now? ... and more importantly, how can you not have the pen tool as a default tool? madness

thanks in advance.
