attaching document images to a filepro file

[Richard Kreiss]

Set a variable to point to where image files are located. SET
PF_Picture=N:\appl\pictures

The depending of the file extension get the correct envirn variable.  

If the file extension is associated with a particular program doing a system
call  to start the program should handle viewing the file.  I have a routine
that creates a CSV file and then opens Excel to view the file.  This is
something that both Windows and *nix should be able to do without issue .
That is as long as the program being called can handle be passed a file
name.
