| I installed ImageMagick 3.8.7 on Digital Unix. When using display on image sequences
| (multipage gifs or our own image sequence format) I encounter problems when going to the next image.
| When I load the image from the commandline, like 
| 
|    display multi.gif 
| 
| I can step through the sequence, but when
| I load an image through the interactive menu and then want to step through the sequence I get the 
| previous used image back.
| 
| Anyone knows of a solution for this problem ???
| 
| Thanks,

Display basically needs more thought about how it handles multi images.

   * First in a GIF animation with lots of frames (30-100 or more) 
     it is a pain to go look at frames in the middle or near the end
     A frame scroll bar, input frame number, will solve that problem

   * While display has the ability to save a GIF animation
     you can NOT easilly save a specific frame. 
     And you can definatally not save a frame range as a animation
     in its own right.
