Opening Files in OS X

Hi folks,
I have a RR app that saves a text file (with a *.upf extension) like so:
ask file "Save play as:" with filter "Ultimate Play File (*.upf),*.upf"
if it is empty then exit mouseUp
-- do some stuff to txt variable
put txt into url ("file:" & it)
... and it loads files like so:
answer file "Open Play:" with filter "Ultimate Play File
(*.upf),*.upf,All Files (*.*),*.*"
if it is empty then exit mouseUp
put url ("file:" & it) into txt
This works great on Windows, but my OS X testers (sadly I just have the
Windows machine) report that they can't open files. To quote one user:
"The file picker dialog still appears, and I can see the file I save, but I
can't click it (it is dim, and apparently "unavailable" to the program."
Can anyone tell me if there's something Mac-specific I need to do in my app?
Thanks!
Jim
