How to force a true TXT extension?

[Ton Kuypers]

William,

Try this, it also traps when the user clicks on "Cancel"...

ON mouseUp
     ask file "Bewaar woordenlijst als:" with "*.TXT"
     IF it = empty THEN exit mouseup
     put it into vUserChoice
     IF char -4 to -1 of vUserChoice <> ".TXT" THEN put ".TXT" after  
vUserChoice
     put field "woorden_uit" into URL ("file:" & vUserChoice)
     answer "De woordenlijst is bewaard!"
END mouseUp


Succes!
