Hi Thomas,

This might get you going. Try targeting the document with a 'tell' statement
and including an 'at end' location parameter:

tell document 1 -- or perhaps tell myDoc
make new inline picture at end with properties {file name:"Macintosh
HD:Users: Thomas:Desktop:Home pics:" & oldaddr, link to file:true, save with
document:true}
end tell

A non-inline picture should work the same way, too.

HTH,
Stan C.
