The preview curve does not show the effects of the smoothing algorithm, 
and perhaps other factors.  So, you'll notice bulges, etc. in the final 
one if you have sharp turns and the like.  The curves can also "bounce" 
off the base occassionally.  Once you get the hang of it, you'll find 
it's rather easy to put more points in turns to smooth them.  Sometimes 
several points spaced at just one integer apart overcome the problems.
