The best way to select a file from a dialog is using the Mac::StandardFile
package, documented fully in the book and with examples in
ext/t/Mac/StandardFile/.  MacPerl::Choose for getting files is more or less
deprecated (though it is still necessary to use it for getting folders).

But the GUSI routines for getting files and folders do have full code in
t/StandardFile.t and the corresponding lib/StandardFile.pl, and they show
how to use the prompt.
