Either paste them all next to each other on a bitmap and use GRAB IMAGE to create a single image or create a memblock and write the contents of each image to the memblock.

how do I go about packing or storing them in a memblock? I'm attempting to make a file safe of sorts.

There's two commands: MAKE MEMBLOCK FROM IMAGE and MAKE MEMBLOCK FROM BITMAP that could be used for that. I suppose setting up a function to add a load of memblocks together in one big one and then saving it out would work. The only problem with that is, the images will not be compressed and the file rather large. Another trick is to have images stored in a zip or rar file. I did a simple plugin for extracting files from these compressed formats with password protection and I also believe there's another zip plugin floating around somewhere too.

I posted a rar and zip plugin on this forum post sometime ago: http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=191086&b=42
