Thanks rbytes!
This is just the type of code listing that really helps newbies like me! Seeing a working example with well commented code is just so helpful.
I can't wait to play with this when I get time next week. It's school half term here I the UK so no time for coding this week unfortunately.
Thanks again - much appreciated

Thanks for the positive reaction, Paul.
A couple of fixes were needed to the code, and I will update it this morning.
Before you start working with the Shell , please download it again.
I just used it myself to create a new program called Text Cutter. My expected coding time was reduced by half.
I will post it tomorrow.

I am new to this- how do I get calcBG.jpg to the folder? When I click on the picture name nothing happens.

Press and hold on the image, and click Save Image from the popup menu. Once the image is in your Photos, run this one-line program to get it into your folder:
Be sure you get the caps in the right places, because program names are case-sensitive.

It worked perfectly! Because you gave me the code to get the image I was able to try another picture from my album. After changing the jpg name in your original code to match my photo name I ran the program to 100% satisfaction. I am amazed at what this SmartBasic can accomplish. Now I am going through your code line by line so I can understand all the various commands.
Thank you again for your help and patience!
