Is there a way to read a BinaryStream into a MemoryBlock other than

so that I could get to work. Sure seems like there should be some
way to use the Read(x) method to read the entire file in at once
but if there is, how to do it has eluded me so far.
j = theFile.Length
n = j - 1
mb = New MemoryBlock(j)
For i = 0 to n
mb.Byte(i) = b.ReadByte
Next i
There are several ways.
You can read an arbitrary size with the MemoryBlock.StringValue() and
BinaryStream.Read().
You can also assign a string like this:
Dim mb As MemoryBlock = b.Read(b.Length) // b is a BinaryStream
This is because there is an automatic conversion between string and
MemoryBlock (REALbasic 5.5 and higher), so a MemoryBlock will be
created to match exactly the same size and data as the string.
