Hi Keith,
This is standard stuff.
on example
answer file "Select a binary file..."
if it is not empty then
put it into myFile
open file myFile for binary read
read from file myFile until EOF
put it into myData
close file myFile
// do something with the data below this line
end if
end example
Instead of open, read, close you can also use:
put url ("binfile:" & myFile) into myData
Open/read/close gives you more control, but put url seems more straightforward
(and less lines)
