Example:

   Sub MAIN
      FileNewDefault
      On Error Goto exit
      Number - (CountWindows() - 1)
      Dim Windo$(Number), holder$(Number)
      count - 0
      For I - 0 To number
         If FileNameFromWindow$(I + 1) <> "" Then
            holder$(count) - FileNameFromWindow$(I + 1)
            Count - Count + 1
         End If
      Next i
      count - count - 1
      Redim Windo$(Count)
