Introduction

The concept is straight forward...you store the parameters for
your screensaver in a profile .INI file. You have the option of
opening an existing .INI file or creating a new one.

Once you have selected the .INI file you can then add (ADD) image files,
(REMOVE) files from your profile list or change (MODIFY) image parameters .

The REMOVE command does not remove your images from your disk...just from your show list.

You must SAVE if you want your changes to be permanent.

The parameters you can change include:
