Summary: filename doesn't match window title!

I have a script that uses the Import Paint file command. I put the 
chosen file name into a variable, say "filename", where it always
is the full path, e.g. "hard disk:hypercard:myfolder:paintfile".

The problem is that this filename is not the name of the window displaying
the file. If the window goes to the background, I can't pull it back 
by saying "show window filename" because the window has only the 
name of the file without the path.

Suggestions?


thanks,
