Try storing the defaultFolder in a variable, then restoring it:
put the defaultFolder into storedDefaultFolder
set the defaultFolder to folderIWantToList
put the files into field "List of Files"
set the defaultFolder to storedDefaultFolder

I'll take it under advisement, as they say. ;-)
I do agree that more working examples are needed. One of the things I'm
planning is a Cookbook with short handlers and code snippets to do various
useful things. Please do send me any requests/ideas for the cookbook, or
post them to the improve-revolution list!
