Thanks. That's where I'm running into dificulty. I can set "No Picture", but that just enables the bacground color panel, which does not seem to have a "None" choice in the list. Am I missing something here? Do I need to find something like transparent.gif, and add it to the directory that the list is read from? If I set "no picture", and set the bacgrround to black, then when I run the cdop script, it pops up the requested picture breifly, then writed black over it.
