 Yes.

 Sorry, I didn't quite understand that idea back then but didn't ask as it
was premature. Now that it has matured -- and I still don't understand it
-- I do need to ask: what exactly should this do, i.e. should this generate
a bitmap and save it to file (doesn't seem very useful), generate the
bitmap and open it in a separate window (still strange), open a window with
help HTML in it, ...?
