[Gimp-user] "Cool glowing text" in 2.6.1

[Chris]

I'm running 2.6.1 because it came from Ubuntu's repos, and documentation seems
to be non-existent for it. So I'm using 2.6.6 docs and tuts, and stumbling
around menus looking for similar options. Until now Google has helped a bit,
but I can't find "Selection from Alpha" anywhere.  Insight?

I'll likely have trouble with other items in the same tutorial, so if anyone
is farsighted enough I'd appreciate advance help as well.

Thanks!
