opening files from command line

[happyjack87]

When I try to open up a file, the window does not come up. In order to open up a file I have to type in the file name in the command line. Is there any way to change this so that I do not have to do this?

never mind I figured out. I searched for this problem and found the solution.

RKM already posted the answer, but it would have been good of you to post it yourself, even if you did figure it out on your own. :wink:

yeah - just so you know, this isn't the sort of forum where we have a bunch of experts sitting waiting for newbies to post questions and we all come running (though I know some are), this is the kind of forum that works by all the members sharing their knowledge and treating threads as valuable pieces of information for future users :wink:

Just another answer if you press the ~ tilde key it will force the file dialog box to appear handy if in middle of lisp program etc and have turned off the filedia.
