Excellent -- Thanks for the explanations and examples, now I know where to look to make a script to make this work. What I will now be making is a script for GQview to call from it's customizable editors menu. The script will essentially get a filename from GQview and then set the E background to that file. No patching of E required. :) ===== -- Andrew R.
