Thank you for the suggestion! That is a neat solution, indeed - I will 
be able to use it in a wide variety of situations. The only problem 
this solution poses is that I wouldn't be able to add any IMAGE objects 
to the graphs, in the future... I would like to give the user the 
option of being able to specify images to be used for certain graphic 
elements (ie, background). That is why I was considering saving all 
elements to a separate file. My problem really is being able to specify 
more than one element to a file, and then being able to read them 
back... I know that for text files we can use custom-defined item 
delimiters, but I don't know exactly what is the procedure for doing 
the same with binary files...

Once again, many thanks for your suggestion!

Kind Regards,
