blob usage from second file

[Joe Chasan]

using filepro 5.0.13 on sco openserver, if i have a blob in file_A,
where i edit it constantly (blob export, call external program, blob
import back), and i want to reference it in file_B, how am i supposed
to do this?  (file_A has a one-to-many relationship with file_B)

i really thought it was possible, but perhaps my memory is failing
as i keep getting SegV in the process.

i've tried blob file_B(2) export disk_file_name
and 
aa(16,blob)=file_B(2)
blob aa export disk_file_name

i also tried with a long dummy - when assigning to a dummy, the segv
happens on assignment.  when going with lookup_alias(field#), the
segv happens on the blob export line
