BackDrop looks for a Folder called "Screens" and rotates thru the paint
files located within the folder, they do not have to be named anything
specific. The INIT and the Screens folder is in your system folder.
If you have the whole thing there is also a Da that accompanies backdrop
to let you select your favorite screen if it boots to one you do not want 
today, as well as controls what part of a paint file is displayed if its
larger than the Mac screen...
