	Although it would be wonderful if you COULD implement custom effects,
but the problem is NOT getting the picture of the CURRENT card, but the 
picture/image of the NEXT card to be shown.  I would LOVE to see the guys at
Apple give us an XCMD callback for this as I have some wonderful visual 
effects (all of the HC & MM Director, and then some) that would be great in
HC, but can't use them.  

(If it helps you move faster, Kevin, the guys at Silicon Beach/Aldus are ;-)
