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

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)
