Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------

1. Type the following line of code as one continuous line into the Command
  window and then press ENTER:

        ?AGETCLASS(cmdhelp,home()+"\ffc\_datetime.vcx","_clock",
        "Choose a class","Classxxxx x","Pick class")

  Note that the label for the file name text box displays.
