Have you given some thought to what I suggested?  Give these lines of code
a shot and see what happens ...

  1  -------   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -
loop   ? If:                                                                   ?
       Then: import ascii ifile = c:/jpglist.wri r=\n                          ?
  2  -------   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -
       ? If: not ifile                                                         ?
       Then: show "@Done!"; exit                                               ?
  3  -------   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -
       ? If:                                                                   ?
       Then: show "@"&ifile(1)                                                 ?
  4  -------   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -
       ? If:                                                                   ?
       Then: goto LOOP                                                         ?
  5  -------   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -

Of course, make sure to place them where needed ...
