Image format

[Takaaki Furukawa]

Hi Mark,

Thank you for the information.
The file was still corrupt after using "binfile:", but I found out 
something.
I hexdump'ed the corrupted file, and obviously the PNG file did not 
have any
headers. But files created with "export" command (which is not 
supported by
Revolution Engine 2.5) do have headers. So it looks like "put into url" 
command
does not add any headers to the file to be saved. And I wonder if what 
kind of
format an image is in when the image is "put into url."
