Beautiful, it works - and I even understand it. :-) And I managed to
figure out by myself that I can do a nested \dorecurse to multiply
this:

\dorecurse{3}{\dorecurse{6}{\externalfigure[pikkukuva\recurselevel][height=25mm,frame=on]}}


My not be the most elegant (or fastest compiling!) solution, but this
one I can definitely get to work and it'll suit my purpose well
enough.


Thank you,

Mari
