It's great to see the Rev folks are already working on this. Thanks for
everyone's comments. Personally I hope that a cross-platform syntax for ask
and answer file comes out of this as it seems unnecessary for us to allways
script this. Something like:

answer file "Open a file:" with filter "*.txt" or type "TEXT"

Cheers
