image and text alignment

[Alfred M. Szmidt]

Is it possible to get text filled around an image?  That is to say,
get output that looks like:

| [ image ] Text that is long 
| [ cont. ] and boring but
| [ of    ] does not place
| [ image ] the image before it.

All I've  managed to get is:

| [ image ] 
| [ cont. ] 
| [ of    ] 
| [ image ]  
| Text that is long and boring but does not place the image before it.

Using,

| @image{foo} Text that is long and boring but does not place the image
| before it.

and various other such things...
