preBeta4 prob

[Toma Tasovac]

I am having problems with the latest "preBeta."  It refuses to put the 
content of a txt file into a variable.  I'm doing the simplest possible 
thing:

put url "file:filename" into tVariable

but that just doesn't happen.  I've tried the message box with:

put url "file:filename"

and i couldn't see the content of the file, no error message, nothing.  
The same files work ok with 1.1.1.

Has anybody by any chance experienced the same problem?  Any suggestion 
on how I could twist Revolution's arm into reading my files?

All best,
Toma
