Klaus,

Thanks for the solution. It is much appreciated.

I think one could use the "name" or the "short name" depending on the 
script above. That is, one could say:

"the filename of img tLine"
if tLine contained the short name

or

"the filename of tLine"
if tLne contained the name

The "name" already contains the word "image"

I'll find out when I try it. (But first I'll make a copy.)

In either case I think I can blunder though that issue. It was your code:

      put url("binfile:" & the filename of img tLine) into img tLine

that I needed help with. I thought I would have to import the file 
and somehow delete the old referenced image.

Thanks again.

Jim
