Robert,

I use the imagedit.exe that ships with VFP for editing BMP and ICO files. A MSK is just a BMP with a different extension, it must have the same base filename as the BMP though. You can experiment with it to see the effects of how the BMP mixes colors with the background of the button. But for me I normally make the MSK all black so the colors of the BMP stay as designed.
