Try this:
open file "../B1/theText.txt"
The first element of the relative path (the part that appears to the
left of the first "/") must be one of these (if there are other
possibilities I don't know what they are):
- the name a file in the current directory (in which case there's no
slash after it)
- the name of a subdirectory in the current directory
- "." (meaning "this directory")
- ".." (meaning "this directory's parent directory")
