You could easily call it "tFiles" or anything else. Your student would select several files in the Finder or Windows Explorer, then drag them all to your stack at the same time. The dragdrop handler Matthias posted will put all the file paths into the variable, one path per line. Your own handler can then get each line of tList and work with it. ON dragdrop put the dragdata["files"] into tList END dragdrop If I have selected three files in the OS, the above handler would contain something like this in the variable tList: volume/folder/file1.txt volume/folder/file2.txt volume/folder/file3.txt -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
