Hello Hans :-)
I've checked it just again. With a pasted picture Quark 6 will say:
"no disk file"
So it will work with Quark 6 an I hoped, that this will also be true for
Quark 4. Just try it.
Best regards to all
Michael Slomski

Michael is close (hello Mike :-) but his code doesn't cover pasted PICTs.
