Thanks, yes, it was passing a zero. No, it wasn't a typo but
a blatant logic error. Here's the gist of it if any are
interested:

sequence s
for i = 1 to 32 do
  if first_iteration then
    s = repeat (0, 32)
    s [i] = create(pixmap) -- obviously only the first pixmap is set
  end if
  setPixmap (s[i])
end for

should have been:

sequence s
for i = 1 to 32 do
  if first_iteration then
    s = repeat (0, 32)
  end if
  s [i] = create(pixmap) -- obviously only the first pixmap is set
  setPixmap (s[i])
end for

OR

sequence s
s = repeat (0, 32)
for i = 1 to 32 do
  s [i] = create(pixmap) -- obviously only the first pixmap is set
  setPixmap (s[i])
end for

There was a reason for putting the initialization in the for-loop
just not a very good one. Thanks again for all the help.

later,
Lewis Townsend
