Add links to the Metabase, Adhoc, Fore, Io system assemblies.

Sub UserProc;
Var
    MB: IMetabase;
    File: IFileInfo;
    BW: IBinaryWriter;
    AP: IAdhocReport;
    BD: IAdhocBinaryData;
Begin
    MB := MetabaseClass.Active;
    AP := MB.ItemById("AN_PAN").Edit As IAdhocReport;
    BD := AP.BinaryData;
    File := New FileInfo.Attach("c:\Image.jpg");
    BW := File.OpenBinaryWriter(True);
    BD.FindById("ITEM").WriteToStream(BW.Stream);
    BD.RemoveById("ITEM");
End Sub UserProc;

After executing the example the element with the ITEM identifier will be found and removed from the collection of dashboard binary data, the data of the element will be written to the "c:\Image.jpg" file.
