Thanks.  I was curious because other than this function there seemed
to be parity between Memimage and Image operations.  Truth be told,
I'm a novice when it comes to graphics.  the last graphics system I
attempted to understand and use was the 630.  Interestingly, a Bush was

Manual says wirtesubfont() should be preceded by writeimage(). correct?
