How can I get the name and path of a text file opened by the user in a macro?The macro opens the
file this way:

f = File.openAsString("");

After looking at the list archives and online doc, I haven't figured out how to get at the name or path
when they are not already known. Note that I am opening a text file and there is no corresponding
window whose name I can peruse. Also, the file chosen by the user can be in an arbitrary location.

Thanks.
