What platform are you on? This command won't work on Macs; for that you 
need the "of type" designation. It should work on Windows though.

Also, the latest Rev engine has added new syntax, so if you are using 
the latest engine in the MC IDE then you should look at the new way:

  answer "Choose a file:" with type "Metacard Stacks|mc|MSTK"

This new syntax works on both Mac and Windows.
