I can pull off a call to SFGetFile() w/o much problem (I'll just look
at all the other NetBSD/MacOS utilities :-). But I was hoping to add
those cute extras (the TEbox and thw two pop-up menus). Every time I
tried to write the service routines for dialog boxes, they didn't work
right. Thus the desire for code snippets. :-)

SFGetFile() it probably will be. :-)

Take care,

Bill
