This is probably what is happening.  I'll upload one of the images
tomorrow, and you can check it out to make sure.

Ah, look closer!  It's a list of tuples:  (filename, image)
I'll try out FIPY's resizing tomorrow too.  OTOH, I have functions to
convert between PIL and wxPython, and functions to convert betweem PIL
and FIPY, but I don't see a function to convert FIPY to wxPython?
