No command as such - just create your images in a paint package that supports transparency and export them as PNG files (with alpha channel) and the transparent areas will appear.. well.. transparent!

You can also try the "set image colorkey" trick, but it doesn't work half as well as the way I mentioned above.

Cheers,

Doubt it (on both counts). Try something like Paint Shop Pro.
