Does somebody know if there exists out there an XCMD to draw (and
erase) pictures of arbitrary sizes and shapes on a card, in front of
all other layers, while preserving the background?  The only
picture drawing commands I found were not preserving background,
or were drawing only rectangular pictures (or pictures in a
rectangular window), or were not drawing in front of all other
layers.  A giant-icon drawing XCMD might solve my problem, I
believe.
