Hi Todd,

Look in this message:

First, copy (in windows explorer) the image file.

You could click with the right button of the mouse
over the image file and select "Copy" from the
contextual menu.
 
The clipboarddata now has the path to the image: 
"C://My Documents/MyImage.gif"

The function the clipboard in RR reports the 
clipboard as empty, but the function the 
clipboarddata returns the path of the image.

Put this script in a button:

on mouseup
put "binfile:" & the clipboarddata into zxcv
set the imageNew of this stack to url zxcv
create image
set the text of last image to the imageNew of this
stack
set the imageNew of this stack to empty
end mouseup

An advantage of this script, over pasting an image 
directly from the clipboard, is that images
like jpg, gif and png, stay compressed, occuping
less space in the stack.
