Tom, there are no doubt other ways to create composites and perhaps 
they're easier but here's what I've been doing. First I save ARGO 
captures of the signals of interest as .jpg files. Then I use the free 
image program IrfanView to crop and save the pieces I want with a bit of 
text added to identify what they are. Next I copy those .jpg pieces into 
the freely available Open Office Writer. If you have Microsoft Word 
that's equivalent but usually unnecessarily expensive. I arrange the 
pieces as desired and save the entire page to a file.  Then with 
IrfanView I crop the region showing just the ARGO bits. I save that in 
.jpg form and resize it if necessary so it isn't too large for posting 
to the lowfer site.
