1. How do I get an image into one of the viewing panes so that I can model on it in such a way that when I zoom in or out the vertices are still on the same spot?
2. How can I permanently change the interface to my own
3. When Blender 2.12 on Win2k is full screen the bottom part of the window is cut off, is there a way to fix this?

1 - How do I get an image into one of the viewing panes so that I can model on it in such a way that when I zoom in or out the vertices are still on the same spot?

To load an image in the 3D window press SHIFT+F7 and "Load", then select your image.
To return to the 3D windows press SHIFT+F5.
If you are not happy with the result you can press SHIFT+F7 again and adjust the size and the transparency of the image (with the "Blend" slider).

2 - How can I permanently change the interface to my own

Contributed by Velenux.

You can freely change the interface (eg. splitting windows, adding windows, etc), then hit CTRL+U and save the 'user defaults'. Next time you reset Blender, you will have the interface you saved.

For the interface, look at:

https://www.blender.nl/showitem.php?id=3
https://www.blender.nl/showitem.php?id=6

Enjoy! :-)

Try moving the cursor to the bottom part of screen and pressing the minus - key on the numpad. this will shrink everything in the bottom window
