 It is an assumed extension of .bmp. So just put the "basename" into
 ipmid.cfg. My complete line reads

   <IDLE_DISPLAY ind.anim.IP_500.38.frame.1.bitmap="astlogo"
                ind.anim.IP_500.38.frame.1.duration="0"/>

 And then in ~PlcmSpIp I have the astlogo.bmp.

 Yep, the root of your ftp folder to be exact. Which is the same as the
 home directory of your PlcmSpIp user, I assume, and the same directory
 where ipmid.cfg sits.

 No changes there. I think the MB stuff is for the IP600 only, in any
 case.

 And that's all I had changed. Just ran a diff between my ipmid.cfg and
 the stock version:

 - In <bitmaps><IP_500 ... Added my bitmap def as
	bitmap.IP_500.66.name="astlogo"

 - changed <indicators ind.idleDisplay.enabled="0"> to
	<indicators ind.idleDisplay.enabled="0">

 - redefined <IDLE_DISPLAY to use the new bitmap, as shown above.

 - reposition the bitmap on the display in tge <gi><IP_500 block as
	outlined in my previous message. The physX and physY coordinates
	will depend on the size of your bitmap, so don't just use mine.
