Right, but here's the rub: FM doesn't support transparency -- at least,
not in those formats.
I've read on this list that FM supports transparency in EPS graphics,
but have no personal experience with that. My rather ancient copy of PSP
(v7.0), doesn't have a transparency option for Save As Encapsulated
PostScript, but maybe it's been added in newer versions.
