Opening variable files [message #7951]

I am an undergraduate as Washington University. We purchased IDL in the
summer of 96. I am currently trying to write a widget based application
and I ran into a problem. I want the user to be able to open a file of
his or her choosing, but when I try to use the statement

openr, 1, filename

where filename is a string (variable) I get a message saying that a scalar
value is expected. Is there any way to allow the user to enter in the new
file name without exiting the application and recompiling the program with
the new 'filename' inserted.

Thanks,

Chris Crabtree
