I think I skirted the problem re painting somehow… I had to switch into texture painting mode in the left/monkey window before painting in the right hand UV window would take effect. I’m not sure why because in the following lesson Kent is definitely in object mode when he starts painting. As for the node editor question, those windows were actually there. I saw there was a “find node” function under select, and it found them. They were way off to the side and zoomed out so far they were just specks. So crisis averted 🙂
