dump newbie image questiosn

[Jon]

For those of you who are reading this thread, but not taking the time to 
look at John's (jmr's) stack, his stack is much more than just showing 
how lockLoc works.  His handler does the image scaling so that the image 
is not distorted.  Well worth reading and adopting.  And he did it in a 
much simpler way than  I intended to employ!
