photo in rebodex

Hello there, I'm trying to put a photo into a Rebodex of people, but can't make img: image 200x300 load rejoin ["%" filename/text] ;;; filename/text reads fred.png work unless I refer explicitly to the individual file qua %fred.png Would someone please tell me how to do this? Regards, Rosemary -- Jeeves shimmered out and came back with a telegram.

Hi Rosemary, RdD> img: image 200x300 load rejoin ["%" filename/text] REJOIN coerces to the type of the first value in the block, in this case a string, so REJOIN will return "%fred.png". LOAD them converts that to a file, so you could just do: to file! get-face filename If you're doing it inside LAYOUT, it should work, even without parenthesizing it. Do you get nothing? An error? Does the file exist? Have you probed the result to make sure it does, indeed, contain the filename you expect? (silly questions, I know, but... :) -- Gregg

Dear Gregg, Thanks for that. It showed up okay as %fred.png, but loaded nothing ... I hadn't realised rejoin made it a string. Regards, Rosemary -- Jeeves shimmered out and came back with a telegram. On 20/06/2007, at 9:36 AM, Gregg Irwin wrote:
