imaging stack

I have written a Revolution stack that reads a list of image filenames,
stored in a cd field, and creates a 5X7 array on the screen of these
thumbnails retrieved from the hard drive. As each image is imported, I
paste a script from a cd field to each image so that when that image is
clicked a high resolution image is read from the hard drive and
displayed full screen. As this mounting of the full screen image occurs,
another script from another cd field is pasted to the high res image for
future changing of its size..

This has all worked quite well, but suddenly the computer now seizes
when reading the high res image upon clicking the thumbnail. I have
nulled the line in the thumbnail script: import paint from file fff and
instead now print fff to the message box. Now when run it dutifully
prints /RLTG4/Pics/DHT Wedding/DHTWedPics/W876930/Original
Files/022_20.jpg into the msg and nothing seizes.

When I then type    import paint from file /RLTG4/Pics/DHT
Wedding/DHTWedPics/W876930/Original Files/022_20.jpg and hit enter, the
following error message appears and the system does NOT freeze

Script compile error:
Error description: Expression: double binary operator

I don't understand what this means and would welcome comment. In that
everything was working well and then has gone south, I suspect I've made
a subtle error in code that is right in front of me. But I can't find
it. Everything else about the computer (Mac PowerBookG4) is working smoothly.

PS I am a pathologist and plan/hope to use Revolution in the image
intensive process of teaching medical students about the biology and
pathology of various diseases.
