HOW ARE YOU GENTLEMEN !!
I finally got it working very, very late last night (Started at 2am,
finally got the picture up at 3:15am...I don't like my computer telling
me what I can and can't do). I did fix the grainy black-and-white image
by fixing the "Platform", changing it from Classic to MP2000 Portrait.
The best I can figure out about what was causing the weird jumbling was
the actual picture size. I took it down to the size suggested by the
Avi's Backdrop help file, and after a few tries, it worked. It was a
relief too...I was really getting tired. :)
Thanks for the suggestions. My Newton U2000 is now no longer on the way
to destruction.

Funny, on the PC, I fond it easier to just leave it in color (but save
the picture as a BMP).
As for the original poster's problems... you need to check the
preferences to see what platform that NewtonPress is trying to generate
for. If you're getting back-and-white, then you're probably trying to
generate a "Classic" or "Universal" book. To get grays, you need to
generate specifically for a 2x00.

it as a pict image. In NewtonPress select the appropriate size, drop the

Choices=93 and in the ISBN field type "A!:" followed by anything you
want. Create the package and send it to Your Newton. Thats it.
