It seems as it's better wwith Rev 2.0 pre beta
I caanot test the full script because I can't access the flds names 
in this pre beta
I've done some easy test with the "answer" dlog


answer file "Which file"
answer it

I get the full path without truncated name
I'm waiting a full version of rev 2.0 to test it definitively.
