 That's because I used Ask() to get the name, and if you don't
 explicitly answer, but instead use a picklist, it doesn't get
 a chance to save the name before the macro moves on.  I now
 realize that I should have used AskFilename().  So try:
proc jInsertFile()
     string fn[65] = ""
     if AskFilename('File to insert:',fn,_full_path_|_must_exist_)
     and Length(fn) Addline() Addline(Format('-':70:'-')) BegLine()
     InsertText('-'+SplitPath(fn,_name_|_ext_)+'.begin',_overwrite_)
     BegLine() Addline() Addline() InsertFile(fn)
     GoToBlockEnd() BegLine() Addline()
     InsertText(Format('-':70:'-')) BegLine()
     InsertText('-'+SplitPath(fn,_name_|_ext_)+'.end',_overwrite_)
     BegLine() Addline()
     endif
end
 I'm not sure that _full_path_ is necessary, but it doesn't hurt.
 This also happens to fix the memory of previous replies that I
 couldn't figure out how to get working, and the prompt now
 shows up as "File to insert: [d:\sr\]" with the last-visited
 directory correctly displayed.
... The only people who never fail are those who never try.
