In the Lab Talk Manual for the Origin 4.0 Version on page 109 is a "lap talk" script printed which can open multiple files and print all graphs within the file. This script ran perfectly under Origin 4.0, but not under the new Origin 4.1 Update. It seems like the filename of each individual file to be opened, saved under the variable %A, is not entered in full length. When the full path due to several subdirectories gets to be too long only part of the file name is saved. The "doc -open" command then cannot open the file, because %A does not contain the full filename. How can the script be altered to make it run again, because it is quite a handy script which I already used a lot?

This is true. The limit of the number of characters for a directory path and file name is about 50. This is actually caused because Windows will abbreviate the filename. Therefore, the filename, in the multiple getfile dialog box, that Windows sends to Origin is already abbreviated.
To solve this problem, you should place your files in a directory with a shorter directory tree.
