Hi Joel,
many thanks for your help. It works. It was the mistake to copy from the
selection.

Here my Gimp version (1.2.3 Linux) fails to merge layers if there's only one.
It returns an error. So I put:
(if (> (car (gimp-image-get-layers pic-1)) 1)
(set! pic-layer (car (gimp-image-merge-visible-layers pic-1 1)))
(set! pic-layer (car (gimp-image-get-active-layer pic-1))))

I'm always glad to get some good advice.
Now I can get along further with my script. There may be a time that I need
more help. Till then
Thanks and greetings from Volker
