Thanks Vaskania,
That's close but no cigar. The control key seems to toggle between foreground and background colors (in photoshop terminology). That's good to know. What I need is for it to erase to transparent. If I start with a totally transparent texture I can paint a color and both the color and opacity are added at once. I'd like to be able to erase color and opacity at once as well. Using Erase Alpha, the paint still exists in the texture though you can't see it in Blender. It's present in the actual texture on disk though and I don't see where a transparency channel is exported when opened in Photoshop. It's kind of a deal breaker as far as the workflow I hoped to use. I'm using v. 2.73 since I forgot to mention.
