In addition: saved as a gif and the transparency worked just fine. Interesting
comparison:
81561 Mar 12 09:37 test2.png
31034 Mar 12 09:49 test2A.gif
46725 Mar 12 09:39 test2A.png
(The A files are the saved alternatives from the test2.png original)
Of course, the "fade to transparent" shadow of the graphic is lost with the gif,
replaced by a solid black shadow. Would that work properly with the png format?

Bill Lee
