Yep -- and it's still out there in several stacks at various anon ftp sites. I
also yanked it from something I didn't like and glued it into my home stack.

Hmm... gotta go take a look, not sure about this...

It also returns a sometimes-annoying "You didn't click on the picture" message
if you don't do so... but it's a minor annoyance that command-m clears up fast.

WHOA!  I'm using it almost daily on a Mac SE with only 1MB of RAM... you might
have the DisPICT XCMD confused with something else(?).  I'll attempt to mail a
binhexed copy to your Email address (I know, the correct one's in the next
