GIMP and Transparent .gif

Earlier today I was playing with GIMP a little bit, and was experimenting with how to create a transparent gif. I'm terribly unfamiliar with GIMP, and although I could do this in about five minutes in CorelDraw...I'd like to learn more GIMP stuff anyway. (:



In the Layer window, I selected Layer - Transparency - Add Alpha Channel. (If this is blanked out then it's already been done.) This makes sure your image can store transparency data. After that I used the paintbrush to create the dog. When saving I selected Indexed on the first screen, and then on the next screen checked the 'Interlace' option.
