When the mouse enters the transparent graphic from the card, it 
naturally sends the same "put" to the freeform button.  But, the 
"normalstate" is what already exists, so it does a "put" that is not 
needed. In my case I use imported images, so it is a memory copy, no 
disk I/O. IMHO this is negligible overhead while accomplishing the 
desired result.  If you wanted to eliminate the "put", just check the 
state of the image.  Either way, the handler has to do some processing.
