I was trying to import a bitmap picture into Aldus Freehand put it onto
a 10 % background and print it out on a laserprinter but as the pictures
background was white it blocked out part of the gray background.
I tried to find a "opaque" command, tried to convert it to an EPS file
and then put it one the background, in vain. 

Can anybody help me, I do have a variety of other graphics programs
which may do the trick, but I just don't know.
