To Reshape a Freehand Curve

A freehand curve is several bezier curves joined together and so when you reshape a freehand curve, you are actually reshaping several bezier curves. When you click on a freehand curve with the Reshape Tool, you will see several anchor and control points, one set for each bezier curve within the larger freehand curve.
