	Back in the days when I had an SE I used a INIT called "Backdrop".
	It would put up a different picture as a background screen each time
	my computer started up. It came with a DA that allowed viewing and
	changing of the background screen.

	It broke when I got a IIcx. I threw it out.  Now many years later I
	got rid of my IIcx and have replaced it with my PB100.  Because of
	the memory requirements of color pictures and the disk space requirements
	I did not want to use DeskPict or like.  I looked on some old tape
	and found "Backdrop".  I said why not and tried it.  It works!!!.  

	Features:

		Works with 5.x, 6.x, and 7.x!!! (as far as I can see)
		Uses less than 50K of memory.
		Will display any draw picture.  (Say from MacPaint)
		Randome screen selection.

	Avaliability:
		Have no Idea.  If I get enough requests I'll put together a 
		package.

	Hope this helps

	Bruce
