Christian,

Have you tried using PNG? It might be well worth the switch from the old
antiquated and oversized bmp format...

Which just gives me the idea to make an import/export module for my media
library...

get askfile("*.bmp;*.pnt")
importImage it
replaceFileExtension it, "png"
exportImage it
delete last image
ImportImage it

excuse the pseudo script (taoo script actually), but im sure you'll find the
right commands. I just join the names of the functions i use in my
Transcript wrappers...

Voila... I didn't test the rest mind you but it usually works. Although I've
found the rev paint tools to be a bit unatractive, I keep the work to a more
macpaint like program.

I used to love doodling in HyperCard, i just dont feel the pencil the same
way in RunRev...

cheers
