which are something like the ones for the Magnetic Lasso tool (page 169). Drag an anchor

By manipulating the anchor points, you can smooth out a rather bumpy line like this one.

After you commit the path, the anchor points disappear and it seems like there's noth-
ing else you can do, but if you move the cursor near the path, you see the I-shaped

Commit the text

When you're through typing, click the green Commit checkmark. (To make the text
go away, click the red Cancel icon instead.)
