Hi again akusaya,

a small enhancement using your getFolder() routine, 
where:

if length(filename)=2 and filename[2]=':' then
		filename &= '\\'
	elsif filename[$] = '\\' then
		filename = filename[1..$-1]
	end if

	
could be conveniently replaced by:

if length(filename)=2 and filename[2]=':' then
		filename &= '\\'
	elsif length(filename) and filename[$] = '\\' then
		filename = filename[1..$-1]
	end if	

allowing the user to declare the starting directory,
or not, 
thus opening the dialog on the default system folder
without getting any error.
