Thanks to everybody who responded.  I downloaded a program called
"deskpicture 1.0" which will work on color screens.  "Backdrop" 
I was told, only works on b&w screens.
The only snag I ran into was that I don't know how to use ResEdit
and the painting program I had didn't save the picture in the right
format.  So I had to use the program "giffer" to convert a PICT
file to a Res=0 file.  It works like a charm.
Thanks again.
