- Probably the easiest way would be to create a buffer that is the
- same width as the two picures side-by-side, (if that is what you want).
- Then, load each picture and copy it as a brush, and paste it into the
- location you want in the larger buffer. For example, if the two pictures
- are 200 x 200, and you want to combine them into a picture that is 400 x
- 200, create a 400 x 200 buffer. Load picture A, make it a brush, then
- copy it to the 400 x 200 buffer. Next, you would load picture B, make it
- a brush, and then place it in the 400 x 200 buffer, where you want it to
- appear. There may be a way to load a picture into a specific location in
- a larger buffer, but I do not know. Have not tried it :)
- But, this way will work.

- This is one of the characteristics of such a flexible and powerful
- prgram like this. It may not have a command to do what you want, but it
- has the ability, if you can only figure out how. Of course, if you do
- this frequently, you could create your own command with an Arexx macro,
- and assign it to a key.
