Hopefully a simple question

[Mike Bonner]

Pulling out sections for view is part of the plan, after experimenting more,
setting imagesource for my map is probably not on the "good idea" list, so
i'm going to experiment with the button idea, thank you much.  Might
experiment with the same thing in a datagrid just for practice.

Think if I store the map in an array as you suggest, I can also store
location cues like chance of random spawn, treasure level and the like.

I'm off to experiment, tyvm for your suggestions, really appreciated.
