The TD for "answer file command" says:

"The defaultPath is the name and location of the folder whose contents 
are listed when the dialog box appears. If no defaultPath is specified, 
the dialog box lists the contents of the last folder you used with a 
file dialog box."

but it seems that defaultPath actually expects the path to end in a 
filename not a folder because this works:

put specialFolderPath("Documents")  & "/myfile" into tPath
answer file "select a file" with tFile
