Why are add-sun-bitmap and add-background-bitmap always grayed out on fred2_open 3.6.10 rc2? What are the prerequisites to get them working? Their remove-variations do work.

You have to define a variable first for either add bitmap sexp as it returns a value to store to the variable.

I'm thinking about making that variable an optional argument for just this reason. You don't really need it except if you later want to remove that bitmap.

Even then it's usually easier to just keep track of it manually and remove it that way.

Uh, how can I define a variable if I can't select the sexp in the first place?

[FUBAR-BDHR]

Right click on any event/sexp/etc and add variable.

Ah, so THAT'S what it needs to work. Thanks.

And after taking a look at it, I've decided not to do it.

You wouldn't believe the sheer amount of new code it would require to make this work!
