Hi Michael,

Try this script :
--
on mouseup
  answer file "Import which RTF file ?"
  if it is empty then exit mouseUp
  put it -- display the path in the message box
  set the rtftext of field "text" to \
      URL ("file:" & it)
end mouseup
--
This way you can see what path you actually get from
the operating system.

Hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.
