V4MD - going from v1 to v2

OK, I see getMedia but the doc is contradictory to itself. It says:
===========================
getMedia( any inCastMember )       <=== castmember
Parameter: Description:
inCastMember A cast member in which to put media.
Returns: VOID

Copies the content of a BLOB field to the specified Director cast member.
Example:

fldBLOB.getMedia( theCursor )    <=== cursor
============================
So what are the parameters? Cursor or castmember, or both?

That's funny. We have repeating projects. Some are 2x/year, some are annual, 
some are every 3 years, some are every 5 years. This an every-3-year project.
