Grouping question

Well I guess neither of the methods I mentioned will work since the import
command does not give me the id of the image it creates, at least not in
the it variable or the result.

So I guess I'm back to using the create command which solves the issue of
getting the image into the correct place, along with setting the filename
of the image after I create it.  But that ends with with a referenced
control, which I don't want.

I hope I'm missing something obvious.....
