I know about the PICT XCMD in Hypercard
2.0, but after checking it out, I was astonished
to find out that you apparently can't have
color PICTs in the cards themselves, but only
in external windows.  Is this true?  Please
tell me I'm mistaken---_Hypercard_
doesn't support color yet?!!  What I'd really
like to do is have a color PICT as a background,
and then overlay graphics and text on it in
the card.  Anyone have any advice?

Thanks,
Lee
