I learn something new with every edition of this list. I was unaware 
of this ability of RR to replace text characters with images.

Apparently there are some conditions in its application that I am 
missing. Every time I try:

   answer file "Choose an image:"
   set the imagesource of char 1 of fld 1 to ("binfile:"&it)

my computer either locks up, forcing a restart, or RR itself quits. I 
have set the fixedLineHeight to false. What am I missing--what 
conditions must apply to the character and/or the image?
