How does one put a picture on the Desktop. I know how to change the startup screen but have no knowledge of how to change the Desktop. Any pointers? Ken Warner warner@scubed.scubed.com

Put this in the System Folder along with a RES ID = 0 Picture and it'll scale the picture to desktop size. I liked it for about a week, then it got really old. I'm back to the old solid dark blue background again. If you have a GIF file you like, in Giffer 1.03, you can open the gif, then use the File menu command "SAVE AS RES ID = 0" and name it DeskPicture. Put it in the System Folder with DeskPict, and Wah-Lah! There it is :) - Steve Linnerooth tneu1@ccvax.iastate.edu """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
