http://www.dreamfires.com/tutorials/moron.html is the url for a transparent
gif in PSP 4
This was posted eons ago to one of the lists, and is reprinted on my site
with the persmission of the original author.

In PSP 5, its as simple as finding the index number of the images
background, then going to color -> set transparency and putting in the
number of the color you want to be
transparent.
