It is ALWAYS the developer's fault. ;-)

Yes, you are so right! I found my problem: Some of my filenames had slashes in
them which created confusion for the filePath. Once I got rid of the slashes,
everything worked as one would expect. BTW, it’s not really my fault . . . I
didn’t put the slashes in the names . . . my customer did. S
You are providing a path and a file name. They are just not provided as
separate parameters. The suggested file name must be placed at the end of the
path location.

Thank you, Herman, but by providing this solution, are you saying that one
cannot specify BOTH a defaultName and a defaultFilePathin a standard ask file
prompt???

Create a *full* filePath. For example:
ask file "Save as:" with imagePath("export",".png")
function imagePath f,x
put the effective filename of this stack into p
set itemdel to slash
put 0 into z
put f&z&x into last item of p
repeat while there is a file p
add 1 to z
put f&z&x i
Ok, that’s very reasonable and works. Now how do I also add a default name to
the mix? If I append a defaultFileName to the defaultFilePath, it no longer
sticks to the defaultFilePath.

This should be easy, but I’m having difficulty with this:
In the Ask File prompt, is there a way to make the “Where” field to always
default to a specific folder?
