Supposedly (!!!!!!!) LiveCode post-Moolah-raising-exercises should be 
able to handle vector
images (import, export ???) so one should be able to import a scaleable 
image . . .

SVG

EPS

Anyone ????

Or is that a goal / stretch-goal / stretch-the-truth-goal that 'somehow' 
got lost
in the wash?

Certainly if/were that capability available both imported images and 
users would be crispy!
