I have this similar problem in my work too. there are commands like... 'append memo' and 'copy memo', and there is 'append general' but 'copy general' is not available. I work around by append the file to both memo and general fields so that I can retrive the file back by command 'copy memo'. I know this would not help you as you want and I want to here from someone else too.
How did you make it with BMP files?
