Well, you're p[artiallyright about that! It made me look at what was
actually happening, and it became obvious that, since the Rev folder is on
the DT, I forgot to include the DT (it's a folder too...duhh).

So, I added it in, but then it would only go as far as the Rev folder. I was
getting frustrated so I moved the folder, Rev stack, images, and all, out of
the Rev folder to the DT.

Now it reads:

on mouseUp
  set the defaultFolder to "/Macintosh HD/Desktop/Doggies/"
  answer file empty with filter "JPEGs,*.jpg"
  put url ("binfile:" & it) into img 1 of grp 1
end mouseUp


...works OK so far. I kept "set the defaultFolder..." to start with even
though it means an extra line, becaiuse it's easier to keep track of and
change if necessary.

Does anyone have a utility for tracking filepaths?

Filepaths can be cornnn-fusin'!  ;-)

Thanks so much,
