Single Click
In this Help file

while in Help you can click on the icon to run NewPaper.

This will offer you a dialog box from which you can choose a new .BMP file for your wallpaper.

If this is too large for the screen it will simply overlap the edges.

If it is too large for the memory, Windows will tell you and refuse to show it.

If it is too small what happens depends upon what you have set in Control Panel - centered or tiled.

You cannot break anything!


Double Click

You can double-click NewPaper.exe in FileManager, which will get a dialog box from which to choose your new wall paper.

You can also have a Program Manager entry (Fileitemnewpaper.exe).


Drag'n'Drop

In File Manager open two windows, the first containing your .BMP wallpaper file, and the other containing NewPaper.exe (can be in the same directory, but not usually). Then drag the .BMP onto NewPaper.exe. It's as simple as that!
