"The moviePath" represents the path to the current DIR movie, which may or
may not be the same as the path to the Projector.
"The applicationPath" is the path to the Projector (or to Director.EXE
during authoring).
You also might try adding parentheses, such as:
open (the moviePath & "myfile.txt") with "C:\windows\write.exe"
Also, try using an Xtra to test if the file exists at the specified path
(or at least check the path in the debugger of message window.)
