Without testing this.... I wouldn't make any changes in Frame itself, I'd
use the operating system.
1. Set FM up pointing to \TheGraphics
2. Set up \EnglishGraphics
3. Set up \FrenchGraphics
In production, I would either rename the \LanguageGraphics directories so
that FM is always pointed to \TheGraphics (where it may or may not find a
particular file, but would stay focused).
OR mass copy all the files from either \LanguageGraphics into \TheGraphics
whenever I needed to make a switch.
