  A friend of mine is having problems with displaying a bitmap that he has
saved in the scrapbook. He uses copybits to copy the bitmap into a PICT
resource which he then saves into the scrapbook. The scrapbook indicates
in the lower right hand corner that the item is a PICT, but does not display
it, much like the occasional 'this item has no picture or text' message but
without the message! The PICT has definitely been saved in the scrapbook as
it is possible to read it back in later. Has anyone else had this problem,
and if so, what can be done about it? Is he forgetting to set any display
parameters (if there are such things)?

  thanks
