Re: Red framed text

[David Arnold <dwarnold45@cox.net>]

Very cool. First time I ever could figure out what \relax does. When  
I deleted it from this source, I got:

! I can't find file `zapf}'.
l.25  {\input zapf}

Please type another input file name:

Good learning experience for me. I've seen and ignored this type of  
error message before, looking elsewhere in the code. A very good  
heads up for me.

Now is there anyway I can visualize the importance of the line

    setbounds currentpicture to OverlayBox ;

in this example? I deleted it and recompiled but didn't see much  
difference. What is the import of this line?
