Hi, Roger. Thanks, everyone. The OGL reference put me on the right track (overlay referenced by FORMDEF points to a SEGMENT that sits in the mystical AFP Resource Library). I eventually tripped over the AFP Print driver and found that the AFP Workbench Viewer was the way to generate a new PSEG. This was all really really vague in the books with respect to getting things into an "AFP resource library". There was no googleable answer to the question of "How to get a JPEG into a PSF overlay?" While researching, it sent me down memory lane to when I was doing PSF/VM testing and working with the dev team in Boulder. PSF is what persuaded me to leave VM code development in the late 1980s and move into VM System Test for 12 years. Last year I tried to see if I could re-establish contact my old PSF/VM test environment, but there was nothing but faint echoes and cobwebs where code and configuration files used to live, though I did find the SFCM and PDMREM1 userids still extant after all this time.
