check the help-file for [makefilename]. with [makefilename] you can
merge two symbol messages (in your case path and filename) to one single
symbol message, that can be sent over a [open $1( message to
[writesf~]. 

maybe you are also interested in [openpanel]/[savepanel]. when banged,
they open a filebrowser and output the filename (with absolute path) as
a symbol message.
