- I'm not sure why it does that, but you can always bring the picture
- up invisibly, and then "set the rect of window whatever to x1,y1,x2,y2"
- where whatever is the name of the file/resource and x1,y1,x2,y2 is the
- correct rect of the window, relative to your HyperCard window. Then
- "show window whatever". Doesn't work well with windowstyles of document
- or zoom, since they have size boxes, and your user can just stretch
- the window back out to make that grey pattern visible again, but other
- than that, it does the trick.
