John, use a semicolon in place of the comma between file descriptions/extensions reverse the order, and add the extra text parameter before the button text. In other words:

cFileName = GetFile("Multicaps data files:MCP;Multicaps Zip Files:ZIP", "", ;
                         'Open', 0, 'Select a data file')

Surround your text with < pre > and < /pre > tags (without spaces).
