Hi Steve
Are you using long filenames? Sometimes they can cause a problem with older
Windows apps such as Write which have been "upgraded" to Win9x.
If you really must have a long name, consider using the DOS 8.3 version of
the path and file when passing it to open.
e.g.
open "My Documents\Somefile.txt" with "write.exe"
will become
open "mydocu~1\somefi~1.txt" with "write.exe"
Regards,
Pranav

I need to open a text file, which is in the same folder as the projector,
in wordpad from a projector. I'm using
open the moviePath & "myfile.txt" with "C:\windows\write.exe"
The problem is - wordpad opens but I get an error message saying "file
My........ (etc.) not found." On the other hand the file opens Ok in
notepad, although the formatting is lost.
