I couldn't find this in the FAQ (in fact, I couldn't find the FAQ at all)
but is there some straightforward way to download a GIF file from Usenet
and strip the headers/footers, concatenate and uudecode using the NeXT?

I know how to do all this in the Mach window, but wonder if there is some
especially neat way to do it with NewsGrazer.  Any advice?

Also, how does one create a background file (using  a GIF or jpeg file,
if possible) that will stay on in the background when using the machine?

Thanks for any and all help...

P.S.  I don't usually leave postscriptums, but I'll make this an exception.
