Thanks for all the help.
The web site supplied by Dennis is great.
David's i=bs.readShort ... solution is what I put in my check
function. It seems to work great. I realize someone could fake file
header information, but they could put jpg as an extension when it is
not, or they could set MacType to JPEG when it is not. So I guess
I'll let OpenAsPicture be the final check.
Once Again, Thanks for the help

I let the user select a folder, then I search through the items in
that folder looking for jpeg files. Right now I am looking at the
extension to determine if it is a jpeg or not. But I am trying to
determine if a file without an extension is a jpeg file. If I take
a jpeg file with an extension, and use the MacOS System "Get Info"
to delete the extension, the System "Get Info" still displays the
"Kind" as a jpeg file. But I cannot figure how to determine this
from within RealBasic. When I look at the contents of the
folderitem, for the file without the jpeg extension, in debug
mode, there is nothing there to indicate the file type/kind. Any
suggestions?
Thanks,
Lou
