to put together a default set of pictograms which are loaded at
program start.

To do this you have to make a DEFAULT file in which the names of 
the files to be loaded are written under one another. You can use 
any text editor to do this,theonlythingyouhavetotakecare
of isthattheDEFAULTfileissavedaspure ASCII-Code.The
files to be loaded have to be in the folder PICTOS and the folder
PICTOS must be on the same dirctory level as STICK_3E.PRG and
