Gregory,
-I see I have started a discussion about the use of mDot, many replies and answers from Tore and Rick.
I was mainly trying to warn Karen. WIth your above remark you are confusing a 'newbie'
Technicaly speaking you may be correct in a statement: There is nothing wrong with a file name m.txt
But it is highly recommend not to use this like that. You are asking for troubles by neglecting a well acknowledged system.

There is nothing wrong in using the mDot notification on the contrary there are only pro's

But it is wrong to say that it is wrong not to use mDot notification


Karen,
let it be clear, you CAN use a file m.txt in this case but you are highly recommended NOT to use it. Afterall what is in it to write
mText.txt = strofile(myfile)
instead of
m.txt = strofile(myfile)

a few keystrokes more and you are assured of always perfect working coding. Besides mText.txt reads more clearly than m.txt to me, but that's highly personal.

P.S. Is your problem meanwhile solved?
Regards,

Koen
