"File Open" and "Save As" in SKILL

Hello,

Is there a way to use SKILL code to implement an input file selector and a output file selector, similar to Windows Notepad, in a SKILL generated form? I can do the form, but could not find any mention of a file input/output dialog API.

I'd appreciate any hint on this.

If I am not mistaken, axlDMFileBrowse is just a file open command with some Allegro environment decorations. The axlDMFxx functions do not open a GUI dialog to select the desired file.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will try it and report back.
BTW, you wrote "you should see the result below" - I don't see any picture or attachment in your post.
