Programming Question (85)



Ok, this seems like a simple problem, but I can't figure out if it's possible
 to do this or maybe I'm just not thinking right. Here is a very slimmed-down
 part of a program I started to write:

:InpSt PICT
:RcPic PICT
:DispG
:Pause

That's it. All I want this to do is ask the user for a name of a picture
 variable store the name in the string PICT, and have the calc recall this this
 picture to the graph screen and then pause. But once it hits :RcPic PICT , it
 gives me a DATA TYPE error. I assume this is because I'm trying to tell the
 calc to recall a string to the graph as a picture, which it can't do. I can't
 think of any other way to have a user input a name of a currently existing
 picture and have it display. Am I overlooking something obvious, or is it not
 possible to do this on the 85 using TI-Basic?

Thanks for any help,

Jeff
