This is bogus! I do not want to manually enter all those names. Does anyone know of an XCMD that can do this (or even put a Paint file to the Clipboard where I can paste it)? I looked at ImportPict, but it assumes PICT resource data. It won't work with MacDraw PICT files even. MacPaint or MacDraw files would suffice. Of course, the big question is why Hypercard (which allows you to do EVERYTHING from script control) doesn't have an ImportPaint command?
