hello everybody, firstly, thanx to everyone who
responded to my query the other day on 'running stack
off the server concurrently'.  It really helps my
understanding of what is happening actually.

another question:

on win 98, this works fine: 

on mouseUp
  answer file "Select a text file for input:"
    if it is empty then exit mouseUp
    put it into y
    launch y with "C:/Program Files/Microsoft
Office/Office10/winword.exe"
  go stack "timer"
end mouseUp

result:  msword launches and open the text file in
msword application. The stack "timer" opens up
perfectly.

But, on win XP, it only opens up blank document
("document 1") in msword without the appropriate file
as chosen from the answer file.

Did i do anything wrong? any help is appreciated.

thanx.  Rosli.
