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.

What might I be doing wrong?
