Hi Steve - In flipping between the various tabs on the layers and channels dialog I have found it's really easy to be looking at one thing and editing another. When you want to edit a channel, make sure (a), that that channel is both visible and selected s the active channel; ditto for the layer mask, or the layer itself. You need to select the proper thing in the layers and channels dialog, and then move back to the image window to do your actual modifying with the drawing tools. You might want to make sure, too, that you aren't trying to work outside an active selection, or that you don't have "preserve transparency" turned on. Also, make sure that the color you're using to draw with isn't the same as the background of the channel you're trying to draw into. (/me speaks from experience).
