As the author of the program.  I would be interested if any unix-pc
graphics guru can tell me what is wrong in the program.  (The ONLY
way I can get the arrow to vanish is if I run mines with the ! from
my office.  Every other way I have tried works fine.  (On 3.51) ).

Since I have several other graphics programs waiting in the wings, 
and the graphics in them was mostly yanked from mines, I
would like to correct the problem before I post them.

Thanks to anyone who can help.
