[V4RB] VPicture challenges - solved! :)

G'day Ruslan et al

Thanks for all your help. Stephan's clipboard suggestion got my photos  
in & after many trials I'm now seeing them in my application.
In the end it turned out to be because I had the compressed flag set to  
true. I don't know why that should have been a problem but I'm glad  
enough to have the problem gone.

Judging by change in the size of my blob file I had got the pictures in  
passing theFile.openAsTextFile.readAll for inPictData but then had no  
idea how to convert the returned by getFormatedPict into a viewable  
picture. By then I'd also found Stephan's suggestion to work so I stuck  
with that.

Cheers, Pedro :-)
