Is there a way to place an image onto the root window of a 4D series
IRIS?  The first step would be to convert the image from whatever
format it is in to the proper format (IRIS rle maybe?).  The next
step would be to load it onto the root.  I have not found any information
about this in the manuals.  Has anyone done this?
