It was my understanding that that's for sliding an object as if it were an
avatar.  I need an instant jump.

That won't work because I need it to be below other layers.  I'd have too
much flicker and would waste too much bandwidth.

Why would it be hard to change the location?  Just modify its coordinates.

I'm not dealing with moving chess pieces.

I haven't used deletion.  And like I said above, I need this object to be
at a low level.

Yes, I noticed that everything can be changed about an IMAGE object except
for its name (no point to this) and its location (should be easy--would
also make Wanda easier to implement).

I haven't messed with BOX yet.

Yeah, I think that IMAGES should be moveable.
