For instance, if (suffix = 'bmp') | (suffix = 'gif') | (suffix = 'jpg') | (suffix = 'form') | (suffix = '*'), then you will be offered three ways to view the (presumed) graphic.

How do I get the reference to the Form? When a file is filed into the image where is it?
I'm asking because I like to fix some of the graphics in the PaintBoxMorph. I can
