not a clue my friend.
I assume by that response that it is is really not as simple as i may think.

My assumption is that as it can get various datatype values like integers /
strings /etc that getting Picture data may also be possible.

Sigh , i wish it was that simple.
can we not use the id given by Print to get a pointer to the data?
eg with Print i get...

Picture 0x559a968a1078

is the 0x559a968a1078 part usable?
