I've tried it. But it doesn't work. The file path 'no disk file'
for pasted PICTs has been introduced with QXP 5.

With QXP 4.x the result is 'null' in both cases: when the box is
empty and when it contains a pasted PICT. So you must make sure,
either by asking for the 'bounds' or for 'data size' as has been
suggested by Ian King.

Asking for the bounds is twice as fast as getting the data size.

But -- with QXP 4.x -- the latter is more reliable because there
is one exception: if the size of the image is 1 by 1 pixel and
if it is not an EPS and if the resolution is not a multiple
of 72 (i.e. other than 72, 144, 216, 288 ...) then the result
of 'bounds of image 1' will be {0, 0, 0, 0}.

Hans
