yes, a blob is a file. I think it is stored as a flag indicating it's presence. If it is present, the function 'blob' will return a filename where you can find its content. > However I simply want to do like this: (put> Article 'body "a really > long text here, not a file...") and have the text end up in an > automatically generated blob file.

Well, if the text is really "really long" then it probably should not be represented as a string in the first place. If it is not that long, I would either use +String instead of +Blob or use +Blob the way Alex uses it. I haven't looked at the sources, but maybe there is a way adding such abstraction/method as you aim for. Cheers, Tomas -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picol...@software-lab.de?subject=unsubscribe
