> Here is an intellectual exercise. Let's imagine you want to play with a

> Here is a script that does just that. If you don't like what you get, 
> just run it again -- Undo seems to work, but AFAICT you have to undo 
> twice to reverse the effects of the script. Note that the frames are not 
> swapped, just the image content.
