AW: still having a problem with path or filename from 2.8 to 2.9

[Tiemo Hollmann TB]

Hi Mark and Eric,
thank you for your quick response.
Sorry, I should have explained, that this example stack is just a quick and
dirty test stack, because the real stack has too much other stuff included,
so I just wanted to reduce to the two or three relevant statements (setting
the path and setting the filename). In the real stack there isn't any ask to
the user, all files are included in my app and the path is hard wired...
Thanks
Tiemo
