"show" works just fine on my win95 box.

maybe you don't have a BMP viewer installed?  try saving
a file as BMP, and run the "start" command on it from the
MS-DOS window:

    > python
    ...
    >>> import Image
    >>> im = Image.open("...")
    >>> im.save("myfile.bmp")
    >>> [ctrl-Z]
    > start myfile.bmp

if this doesn't work, check the file associations, or hack
Image.py so it uses another default format.
