When you select this a file browser opens allowing you to select the file in question. On selecting a file its full pathname is posted in at the insertion point in the current notebook. For your purposes you might want to delete the filename itself. I hope this helps. --Ian ----------------------------------------------------------- Ian Collier Wolfram Research, Inc. ----------------------------------------------------------- tel:(217)-398-0700 fax:(217)-398-0747 ianc at wolfram.com Wolfram Research Home Page: http://www.wolfram.com/ ----------------------------------------------------------- ==== [MESSAGE SEPARATOR] ====
