Hi All,

I'm just starting out in RealBasic on my Mac after a fairly long layoff from programming (well, not entirely, I've been AWK and shell scripting).

Regardless, my first foray back is going to be a simple project, and I am looking for some very simple direction on the best way to proceed. No code please - I'll look up the methods etc., myself, but please tell which objects you would use to accomplish the following:

* Load a collection of images from the internet and assemble them into a single large montage image suitable for a computer wallpaper

To accomplish this, would I start with an HTTPSocket object, and get the image into a Picture object or series of picture objects that I can then arrange on a canvas? Some other way?

All I need is a rough idea of how to start this, I want to do the research into the methods, controls, etc, myself. So if you could just name the controls I should be using, that would be perfect!

Thanks,
Scott
