Thanks to all of your helpful responses, I've now got it working. I
appreciate Sjoerd's suggestion as to how I could have pin-pointed the
problem myself by using
answer file "Show me the file."
answer it && return && the result
to discover that the variable "it" did not contain what I thought it
would. I don't want to belabour this, and perhaps I'm just dense, but
the MetaCard Reference does state that
"The local variable 'it' is set to the name of the button the user
clicked on."
That's why I originally looked to the variable "it" to see whether
the "Cancel" button had been clicked in my use of Answer File. Also,
"it" works fine when using the plain Answer command.
Regards,
Greg
