Yes, Thanks . But
on mouseUp
   answer "What kink of file are you putting ?" with "Tab Delimited" and 
"Comma Delimited" and "Cancel"--and on
   put word 1 of it into sFileType
   if sFileType is "cancel" then
     exit mouseUp
   else
     answer file "a"
     put it  into fld "f1"
     do " put URL" & quote & "file:"& it & quote &" "&"into fld" &" "& 
quote & "f1" & quote
     replace sFileType with "'" in fld "f1"
   end if
end mouseUp
how would I do this ?
