Itunes = applescript = appleworks

Question

hello, I have written a script that backs up selected songs into an appleworks database. It backs up the name of the band, the song, the lyrics, etc.
Here is where I am stuck (on two counts).
1. How do I back up the album artwork out of itunes, and into appleworks. What are the applescript commands to get the jpg for example?
2. Can appleworks database even store images?
The script looks like this (next post) and works sans the album artwork.

Answer 1

tell application "iTunes"
    activate
    set these_tracks to the selection of browser window 1
    set n to count of items of these_tracks
    repeat until n = 0
        set this_track to item n of these_tracks
        --a whole bunch of fields here
        set this_artist to artist of this_track
        -- end of relevant bit
        tell application "AppleWorks 6"
            activate
            using terms from application "AppleWorks 6"
                tell database layer of front document
                    set n to the count of records
                    repeat n times
                        make new record at end
                        set current record to last record
                        -- this puts my itunes info into the right field
                        set value of field "artist" of last record to this_artist as string
                        -- end of relevant bit
                        set current record to last record
                    end repeat
                end tell
            end using terms from
        end tell
        set n to (n - 1)
    end repeat
end tell
