I'm not so good at explaining these things Basically, when the user clicks "Load" from the menu (id 4), I'd like a window to open displaying all files that end in .chr (an extension chosen by me), and when they double-click the icon, it simply loads the hash table up. The code below works, but the user has to type in the filename manually to save and load. I guess what I need to know is how to access the standard windows Save / Open box. Code: on :dialog:build1:menu:3:{ hsave -s CharSheet $$?.chr } on :dialog:build1:menu:4:{ hfree -sw CharSheet hmake -s CharSheet hload -s CharSheet $$?.chr } Sorry for being convoluted - I know what I want, but I'm not sure of the best way to phrase it! A poor life this, if full of care, We have no time to stand and stare.

I'm pretty sure there's a DLL (maybe two) that can be used to access the standard windows dialogs. Unfortunately I can't remember the name of either of them. Spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, and stupid comments are intentional.

I'm sure I've seen this kind of feature before (like with mp3 playing scripts, so you can just double-click an mp3 to start playing it within mIRC). All I want is the dialog box you get as standard whenever you click "Open" or "Save As" in most Windows applications. A poor life this, if full of care, We have no time to stand and stare.

Thanks for replying! A poor life this, if full of care, We have no time to stand and stare.
