I'm going to ask some dumb questions, I am still fuzzy on paths

After this:

put it into htmPathFile
if i put:
put URL "file:" & htmPathFile into fld "htm"
this results in the path & filename going in the field, not the
contents of the file.

but this:
put "file:" & htmPathFile into tFile
put URL tFile into fld "htm"
results in the actual text content of that file being put in.

I don't understand why they are different?!?
Josh,
This is a quirk that has gotten many of us at some time. The
problem is the order in which rev resolves parts of the statement.
Try this:
put URL ("file:" & & htmPathFile into fld "htm")
That forces the file name to be resolved before the put URL part of
the statement.
Sorry, one too many &'s in that example.
put URL ("file:" & htmPathFile into fld "htm")
