I'm working with 4D since about 6 weeks and would like
to have some answers/comments on two things:

(1) Detecting end-of-file:
    I want to be able to import an existing textfile into
    a text-field (using RECEIVE PACKET), but when do I have
    to stop

(2) Importing into Picture-fields:
    Is there an easy way to import a picture-file directly
    into a picture-field?

Something else:
I would really appreciate the existence of a REPEAT...UNTIL
statement in the 4D language (Yes, I know I can do it with
a WHILE instead, but ...)


			Thanks
