[Android] include files

Still no happy.

Here is the script from my Android app that I thought would return the
"Hello world" contents of "file1.txt":
------
 put url ("file:" & specialFolderPath(“engine”) & slash & "file1.txt")
into tData
 put "If file1.txt is in engine-path, here are its contents:" & cr &
tData & cr & "--" & cr into tResult
 put url ("file:" & specialFolderPath(“documents”) & slash &
"file1.txt") into tData
 put "If file1.txt is in documents-path, here are its contents:" & cr
& tData & cr & "--" & cr after tResult
 put url ("file:" & specialFolderPath(“cache”) & slash & "file1.txt") into tData
 put "If file1.txt is in cache-path, here are its contents:" & cr &
tData & cr & "--" after tResult
-------

Not having ever created a stack/standalone that relied on files, these
are the 3 ways of adding "file1.txt" I tried before finally clicking
"Test" in the IDE:

(1) Standalone Application Settings > Copy Files > Add file...,  with
"Copy Reference Files" checked off
(2) Standalone Application Settings > Copy Files > Add file..., with
"Copy Reference Files" checked on
(3) (i) Standalone Application Settings > Copy Files > Remove entry"
(to remove "file1.txt")
     (ii) Stack Property Inspector > External References"  (to add
again "file1.txt")

But, whether specialFolderPath was "engine", "documents", or "cache",
on the Android tablet "tData" always shows as empty.

That was an hour or so ago. And now, I just don't know...

Help!
