Ew, thats a mouthful of code right there. Allright, first of all, it would be much prettier, as well as more efficient for you, if you loaded a character map, then used some math to load the pictures from the screen.  I wrote a tutorial on using character maps in the Turing Walkthrough.

As for your problem, i'm not sure why it does that.  My best guess would be that you have to set them separately from the Init statement.
