I know it's not pretty but it works for me.
If anyone knows a more clever way to deal with this please speak up.
Perhaps dialogfileopen should just return a backslashed string where
needed.

to aaa
closeall
make "file_name long_dialogfileopen "c:\\my\ documents\\*.txt
openread :file_name
setread :file_name
repeat 2 [show readlist]
closeall
end

to long_dialogfileopen :in_name
localmake "out_name dialogfileopen :in_name
localmake "fix_name item 1 :out_name
repeat (count :out_name) - 1 [make "fix_name (word :fix_name "\  item repcount+1 :out_name)]
output :fix_name
end
