No, it is a bug in my, rather hasty, example.

If there is only 1 file selected, then FileNameDialog puts the complete
file name in the returned string.  If there is more than 1 file selected,
FileNameDialog puts the path to the files first, then a separator, then
each file name separated by the separator.

My example code just needs to change to this:

    title = 'FileNameDialog Example'
    ret = FileNameDialog(path, , filemask,   -
          'LOAD', title, , 'MULTI', sepChar)
    if ret == 0 then do
        say "Canceled"
    end
    else do
        files = ret~makeArray(sepChar)
        *if files~items == 1 then do
            say "File selected:" files[1]
        end
*        *else do*
            say 'Files located in directory:' files[1]
            say '  Selected files:'
            do i = 2 to files~items
                say '   ' files[i]
            end
        *end*
    end


The above should work correctly for whatever the user does when selecting
files.
