I think Dave mentioned that background images could be a way to implement image maps which seems to be a good idea. A spreadsheet-like mode could color alternating lines differently with a bg image. (But this one could be done with faces, too, I guess.) One could draw pictures and put annotations on top of them with text. I think it would be useful to do something like this in word processing style applications. kai -- ~/.signature is: umop ap!sdn (Frank Nobis)
