I'll try, but most of them are at the point where if I make them smaller the 
text in them becomes unreadable.  The screen capture utility automatically 
creates PNG files.  I don't think converting those to JPG will help, as JPG is 
better suited for high color levels such as photos. I'll see about reducing the 
color levels (I think they're currently 24-bit). The html file and all the 
images add up to 1.2MB; if you could give me a threshold to shoot for, say, 
under 1MB, it would be easier.  OTOH, with 20 image files, some of the entire 
desktop, I doubt I'll be able to get much below 900K.  Since this goes onto a 
DVD, of which the whole system consumes less than 1GB, or a USB stick which 
ought to be at least 2GB to accomodate a 900MB overlay, is saving 200-300K that 
important?
