Nuts.  I was making the mods to the v2002 versions of the Fkey menu
Tcl/Tk gui files.  This version is different than yours mainly in the
area you found: v2002 has gotten away from inclusion of .xbm (bitmap)
files used in the GUIs.  These are now generated within a support
procedure in upcguiprocs.tcl.

I retrofitted the mods to xsection.gui, imagloop.gui, and bkgmap.gui
to the v7.8 code and put it in the pub/mcidas/src/7.8 directory of
anonymous FTP for you to grab.  You should use these files to replace
the ones you FTPed earlier.

Can I use this opportunity to make a pitch for LSC upgrading to v2002 :-)
