Apologies for reposting this under a different subject but just cannot
figure out what I am doing wrong.

Having read about "specialFolderPath" in the Android release notes,
here is the script from my Android test app that I thought would
return  the "Hello world" contents of "file1.txt":
------
  put url ("file:"&  specialFolderPath(“engine”)&  slash&  "file1.txt")
into tData
  put "If file1.txt is in engine-path, here are its contents:"&  cr&
tData&  cr&  "--"&  cr into tResult

In this example, "engine-path" is not defined. Try something like this:

put ("file:"& specialFolderPath(“engine”)& slash& "file1.txt") into tPath
 answer "File exists:" && there is a file tPath -- confirms existence
 if there is a file tPath then
   put url tPath into tData
   put tData into fld 1 -- or whatever you want to do with it
 end if

Make sure you include a file named "file1.txt" in the Copy Files pane of the standalone builder.
