Well I guess neither of the methods I mentioned will work since the import command does not give me the id of the image it creates, at least not in the it variable or the result.
So I guess I'm back to using the create command which solves the issue of getting the image into the correct place, along with setting the filename of the image after I create it. But that ends with with a referenced control, which I don't want. I hope I'm missing something obvious.....
