answer file with filter ???

[Mark Schonewille]

Thierry,

As I wrote in my previous e-mail, you should use WITH type and not OF  
type.

answer file "" with type "ICS|*ics|ICS "

You can add additional filters:

answer file "" with type "ICS|*ics|ICS " or type "All Files|*|*"

I believe that the ICS type defined as "ICS|*ics|ICS " should work  
fine, because the file extension is right, but if that doesn't work,  
you can choose All Files from the option menu in the file dialog.
