Button images script

[Greg Wills]

Thanks Jim,

Your script will be of assistance in the laying out of the stack with 
many icon buttons. I have been playing round with having a very small 
dimensioned sub-stack with a picture on each card. I am only needing 
small pictures at this stage.

cheers

Greg
