Interesting point, Wilhelm, but I wanted to do this while my app was 
running, not in the IDE - the two Kens have now both pointed me at the 
'import' command, so all is well, once I've worked out how to name the 
image after it's imported (don't worry, I'm sure that this is trivial 
although it's not mentioned in the documentation for 'import' - I guess 
I just have to find the last numbered image and change its name).

Thanks all

Graham
