Why don't copies of images show when played back in image sequence?

I am using image sequencing in Quicktime Pro to create stop motion animation and in order for the imagery to hold for any length of time I thought it would be logical to create copies of the held image. The sequence plays back as it did originally with no image held longer than any others, they just flash by at the same rate. Any thoughts as to why QT isn't showing these copies?

EUREEKA!!!!! I figured it out for myself! I had first added the copies and numbered them 120A, 120B, 120C, etc... and I thought that maybe QT didn't recogize the letters. I then tried 120.1, 120.2, 120.3 etc and the new frames still weren't recognized. I then went back and renamed ALL the frames adding zeroes to the ends, so the sequence became 1201, 1202, 1203 etc and... IT WORKED! Sooooooooooooo, QT will not recognize sequentially numbered files that have either a letter or decimal point added on to them.
