Brian - To assert that I posted this to 'punish' RP is absurd.  To  
assume that I understood the picture loading code and thus would  
recognize that the information in the 'Help' file would be of help is  
to assume that I was an expert like you.  If I were I wouldn't have  
been asking the question.  If you want to make the rules of what and  
how things are posted then you must make them clear and I'm sure  
everyone will follow them.

It appears that, after 20 years, that Future Basic has gotten so  
complex that I am no longer able to keep up with it.  I guess FBtoC  
will be my waterloo (although the Plists, appearance manager, etc were  
getting to be too complex).  Your condescending attitude, and that of  
several others, is totally unacceptable, even if your time is 'freely'  
given.

I hereby withdraw my question and apologize for the distraction (to  
RP) and the rest of you can go to ....

Will
