Yeah, the user that had problems with the save/load dialog also
mentioned that. I didn't know and thought it was a fixed change
in Windows 7. I now use a "searchVar '(' first" to extract the
disk letter and that seems to work fine in both cases.

I remember you mentioned that a while ago and added it also to the
main gui. Also added a "set mntype reset" to xBeforeClose.

I know, but it would be nice if there was a internal var that told
me the triggering came from that button.
I have to conditionally set/clear a file path in another gui when
the dialog gui is closed. I could set a global flag however for the
set condition. Then when the flag is zero, it's certain the triggering
came from the dialog's close button.
