Well, it's a small screenshot PICT (1-1/2 x 2 inches) made by the Mac itself
(shift-cmd-3), imported right from the HD, i.e., Picture 11, to be exact.
HyperCard imports it with no problems, as always, but, of course, it's not a
control there.

I tried resetting the visible and closing/reopening the stack several
different ways. During one of those actions, a phantom image showed up,
i.e., I clicked where I had expected it to show before (when there was
nothing), and suddenly I got handles and could open its dialog. I don't know
which action did it, though, because the actual image is not there, or is
totally transparent or something, so I couldn't see it.

Since then, I've tried setting its inks and blendlevels with no avail. Rev
thinks there is an image object there, but it can't display it.

I guess I'll try to do something in PS.
