| I don't have max GUI but I want to make a game where the player can load a single text file from the main folder that the game is in. I was thinking about making a button class and then make one instance of a button for each file in the main game folder. How could this or something similar be done? Basically the player just needs to see the files available and select one for loading. |

There's a RequestFile function in the System module. Perhaps that is what you need?filter$="Text Files:txt;All Files:*" filename$=RequestFile( "Select file to open",filter$,False, AppDir) Print filename |

| Ah great thanks. I had overlooked that function. |
