Photoshop 7.0 - how to change eraser size?

I'm new to this game, so sorry for what is almost certainly a ridiculously stupid question!

I can't change my eraser size - when I want to erase bits and bobs of the background to an image, I can't really do the niggly bits - for example, if I had a photo of a mug, I couldn't get into the ear of the mug without obliterating the handle.

Please help

Hey Thomas,

The erase tool has several options (found at the top of the screen on the tool options bar). To alter the size, first make sure the MODE is set to brush and then either drop down the brush size menu, or use the [ ] keys to increase or decrease the size as you go.

FYI
Take a look at masks in the help files. These are ideal for the task in hand and remain editable every time you open your project because they 'hide' pixels rather than remove them.

I agree with ATB, you can find it on the top of the screen. There's a choices there. Click the Brush option.
