Thanks! -- this looks similar to what I used in the past.  It worked as I
recall, but once the total number of loaded images passed 5MB, it stopped.
Do you know any way around that?  Is there any way to dispose of the memory
used for images I no longer plan to show?

It seems to cache them all and not free the memory, and then it stops being
able to load them around 5Mb.
