John,

You have to know how to use Resedit to make a startupscreen for
anything but the dinky SE monitor.  Here are the steps:

1)  take your picture, painting, whatever and copy it into the
Scrapbook:  this automatically converts it to PICT resource format.
2)  Load Resedit, and using resedit, open the Scrapbook file located
in your system folder.  (Don't access the scrapbook from the apple
menu!)
3)  Open the resource PICT, and find the picture you want, and then
COPY it.
4)  Using NEW from the file menu, create a new file in your system
folder called "StartupScreen."
5)  PASTE the picture into the Startupscreen file.  It should paste in
as a PICT resource.
6)  Open the PICT resource (you should be able to see your picture)
and choose Get Info from file menu.
7)  Change the ID number to 0 (zero).  Close everything and save
changes.

Wallah!  Startupscreen!  If you have a color monitor, you can have a
color picture for a startupscreen.  Follow the same steps.  But before
I go, I'd like to give credit to Chris Johnson (author of Gatekeeper) for originally
teaching me how to do this.

Have fun!
