Hi April,

it would be better to use [[panel filename] fileSystemRepresentation]
instead of [[panel filename] cString], but we can just assume that
[[panel filename]cString] is delivering you the correct path. Try to
use while((chr = getc(fptr)) != EOF) (note additional brackets), is the
result correct now?

Bye,
