       Use type  "data"

              Specifies what to use as the root background. Possible type val-
              ues are :

              0: load image from the file. In that case "data" should  specify
              filename.

              1:  Use  MyStyle  definition  to  fill root. In that case "data"
              should specify one of the MyStyle names  defined  in  your  look
              file.

              2:  Use  external  application  to  set  root background. "data"
              should specify command line options to this external app. If you
              wish  to use another application to display the root background,
              you need to set the "--with-imageloader" flag to use that appli-
              cation then recompile AfterStep.)
