Bob,
I've seen this exact behavior when trying to read a file for which I
do not have write permission. (If memory serves, checking the result
right after the open file or read from file with give you an error
message.) Try using
open file myfile for read
before you do read from file. Either that or change the permissions
on the files you're reading.

This script was working on a PowerPC based G4 laptop. I dropped the

able to import all my programs and data to a brand spanking new

does NOT CHANGE when I read from a file! It remains the path to the
file I chose in the answer file dialog. Is read from file broken
for the Intel machines??
ON mouseUp
breakpoint
answer file "Select the program file to import:" of type "F+PR"
put it into mfile
IF mfile is empty THEN exit mouseup
put slyfilefrompath(mfile) into mshortfile
IF char -4 of mshortfile is "." THEN
put char 1 to -5 of mshortfile into mmodule
END IF
IF there is a card (mmodule) THEN
go card (mmodule)
ELSE
new card
set the name of this card to tolower(mmodule)
END IF
-- here is the important part
open file mfile
read from file mfile at 1 until END
-- at this point it still contains the result of the answer
file dialog!!!!! EEEEEEKKKKKK!!!!!!
put it into field code
-- close file mfile
set the text of field "lblcode" to "Code: " & slyfilefrompath
(mfile)
END mouseUp
