Yes, I quickly discovered that, but it still doesn't provide the 
functionality I need.  I want to be able to use the browser directly from 
a script to be able to indicate files and pass them off to the script for 
processing.  My goal is to be able to ask the user

	What file do you want to do whatever to?

And if they don't know, they would have an option to go to the browser to 
select the file.
