How do I paint or draw with patterns I've defined?

I just defined a pattern by selecting with the rectangle tool and going to Edit/Define pattern from selection. then named and saved it. But I can't find it. For example, when I try to use the clone/pattern tool, I can see all the standard patterns, but not the one I defined.

Where is it?

OK, I figured this out. I simply quit and restarted PE, and my patterns appeared at the bottom of the Patterns palette.

One thing still... I gave three very similar ones different names, but I can't see the names in the pallet, so I just have to remember them in chronological order.

Does anyone know where the names appear?

And once again, I answer my own question.

Simply click on the little menu in the upper right corner of the patterns pallet, and you can choose "small list" and see a small icon of the pattern, along with the name.

Hope this helps someone else with the same questions.
