PROGRAM OPERATION:
1>  When the program loads all you have to do is select the file format
     you wish to view using the drop-down filters box (.ICO, .WMF, or .BMP).
     * When you exit the program the last format used is saved.

2>  Select the drive and directory where the files reside. To change 
     directories you must double click the directory name.
     * When you exit the program this info will be saved if "Last Dir." is
       checked in the Configuration Dialog.

3>  When you enter a directory that contains the selected file format the
     files will be listed in the filebox on the right.

4>  Either single click or use the Enter key to view a file.
     The file will appear in the preview window on the left.  The filename
     will then appear on the title bar with the size of the graphic.

 A) If the graphic is larger than the preview window you will see a "hint"
     below the preview window.  Click once on the image and the view will
     enlarge to a full screen view.  Click once more and you will be 
     returned to the dialogbox.

 B) If the graphic is not larger than the preview window a message box will
     appear telling you the image does not need enlargement.

5>  The "About..." control will display the About Box.



PROGRAM CONFIGURATION:
- The button in the lower left corner allows the user to 
 select the preferred dialog box and preview window border colors.
 Just click on the associated objects in the Configuration Dialog to cycle
 through the available colors.  The colors are saved when you exit the
 program.  

- You will also be able to toggle Hints and Last Directory save.
 When "Last Dir." is checked the last directory used to view graphics will 
 be saved.  We hope this makes locating your graphics files a little easier.

NOTE: When the "No Hints" checkbox is checked no hints will appear for the
 controls. But, when the checkbox is NOT checked, the preview window will
 only show a hint when an image is larger than the preview window.  The
 hint for this control lets you know whether you can enlarge the image.
 For icons or small bitmaps this is not necessary.
