Got it.

Your demo app won't work as downloaded, I need the Classic ( for OS 8.1).

Unfortunately I can't get the Nav Services dialog to work with a typelist
on 8.1 using your dialog FN either, and changed list types. Even using the
original list types. But that is with a hacked out approach. The Classic
demo app would be a better test. If you can email me that one, I can test
to see if your file list works here with 8.1.

:(

I will just make Nav things < 8.5 disabled for my apps until life changes
for the better. They really are so much slower to build and access, I can't
really prefer the Nav approach.  I can pick 2 files using the older
versions in the time it takes to build one Nav Services dialog. The
favorites seem nice though.

Saving works fine, just the open is a problem with OS 8.1 I think.
