Dana-

>(I noticed you wanted newbie questions sent directly to support instead of
>the gembud mailing list..)

That's a good approach.  Even better is to make sure you check the
searchable support mail archives to see if you question has already
been asked and answered (in this case I couldn't find one).  You
can search the archives at:

You need to close off each GIF file with a gpend.  If you move your
gpend to before the end above, it should work.  As it is now, the
gpend is only running on the last file, that's why you only see
that one with an image.
