Operator + in QM does not join strings when used with =. To join two or more strings, use ss.from(s s2 ...).
When you use ss=s+s2, s is interpreted as lpstr (pointer to first character), and second operand is added to it as integer, like in C. For example
str s="abc"
out s+1
outputs "bc", because pointer is moved by 1 character.
If both operands are strings or pointers, result is integer.
BTW, you can use this:
str s.expandpath("$Desktop$\myfile.txt")
