Sorry, that was a mistake and I presented it confusingly. The point,
repeated from my first note, is not that it's bad about the UTF8 encoding;
the point is that it's bad about the inconsistency - f.name is not in UTF8
encoding but f.parent.name is. So:
dim f as folderitem
f = getopenfolderitem("any")
editfield1.text = f.parent.name + chr(13) + f.name
ACTION Menus 1.0.1 ?í
ACTION Menus? 1.0.1
The TM is handled automatically, but the option-f is not.
