What I need to know is what one must name >the MacPaint File to be used as a background? BackDrop looks for a Folder called "Screens" and rotates thru the paint files located within the folder, they do not have to be named anything specific. The INIT and the Screens folder is in your system folder. If you have the whole thing there is also a Da that accompanies backdrop to let you select your favorite screen if it boots to one you do not want today, as well as controls what part of a paint file is displayed if its larger than the Mac screen... -- Norm Goodger SysOp - MacInfo BBS @415-795-8862 3Com Corp.
