Hi -

Rick is correct -- I wanted the image to be embedded, not simply
included as a separate file which can be deleted, moved, etc. And the
Rube Goldberg methods seems to be the only option available. So i
have hard-coded the image, similar to what was suggested. But am I
missing something here, in terms of IDL design? Is there some
philosophical reason why one *shouldn't* want to include an embedded
image in a .sav file?

thanks for the input.
