RBNUBE,
I guess I'm missing something here;
Here's what I'm doing;
The user selects the menu item Open
selects the file
the menu handler does it's thing +
Static userOpened As Boolean
userOpened=True
OpenUpdate(method)
OpenUpdate
if userOpened=True
UpdateTextFields (,etc)
RESULTS;
The file is brought in and nothing else happens. Checking,
userOpened=false.
Here's the code from the Menu Handler;
Static userOpened As Boolean
Dim f As FolderItem
Dim w As TextWindow
#If TargetWin32 then //Windows only
f=GetOpenFolderItem("text;rtf") //displays open-file dialog
#else //Linux and Macintosh
f=GetOpenFolderItem("text") //displays open file-dialog
#endif
If f <> Nil then //the user clicked Open
ClearEverything // start with a blank field
w=New TextWindow //create new instance of TextWindow
f.OpenStyledEditField w.TextField // this places the text in
"TextField"
w.Document=f //assign f to document property of TextWindow
w.title=f.Name //assign name of f to Title property of w
userOpened=True
OpenUpdate
End if

Since someone is opening a file, the method of creation is known.
Create a Boolean property, userOpened as Boolean.
Create a method that houses your parsing code.
The user presses a button, selects a file, userOpened is set to
True and the
method is called. The method checks the status of userOpened to
decide how
to proceed.
