Hi Daniele and John,
A big "THANKS" for your replies.
The program below takes 3 images
allows for showing them in random order
at random locations. The user then uses the mouse to
move the images to reorder. It is a work in progress.
I have not studied the entire list of your
recommendations but eventually hope to do so.

I appreciate your responses very much.
