=====================================================

This is exactly what I need to know. I will be saving user-modified
graphics in my program string. How do you go about addressing each
individual .db to change. I know you do some sort of increase each time
for .db's in a row. I hate to say this, but an example would be worth a
thousand messages...

Still, if you have any info. for me-it would be greatly appreciated.
