No, not from there. I didn't want to start dialing up and downloading
images from the DSS, and it seemed to me that the current top-end version
of _The_Sky_ includes about 70,000 DSS images already. So, I called up
one image with "FIND" in the program, and noted that a dir was displayed
showing "Windows/Temp"....
I went to that dir and found a temp Sky file. I copied and renamed it,
and viola, I had a DSS thumbnail right on my desktop system. Pretty cool,
eh?
