Open:

on xxx
   answer file "Is there any beer left?" ## with filter ... see the dox 
-> "filter"
   if the result = "cancel" then exit xxx
   ## do something with "it" = the filename
end xxx

Save:

on yyy
   ask file "Where to store the remaining beer (if any)?:"
    if the result = "cancel" then exit yyy
   put fld "data to store" into url("file:" & it)
   ## etc...
end yyy

Hpe that helps...
