Dear Deborah:
The system you refer to is called "Tethering" and as you state,
it is a helf measure. I use it sometimes, but don't like it.
We have display areas in the Student Union where rotating
exhibits are hung. I always screw the pictures to the wall with
four square drive screws (available from McFeely's 1-800-443-7937
1620 Wythe Rd. / Lynchburg, VA 24505-1169 ; also from Brookstone
& others). If the pictures are in standard metal section frames,
rather than attach wire I put four wire hangers on facing out,
