The most portable (with MacPerl) way to do it is currently with the
Mac::StandardFile module, but eventually people will move more and more to
the (not included with MacPerl) Mac::Navigation module, which is supported
with Mac OS 8.5 and up, and in Carbon.

The old GUSI stuff works, and so does the old StandardFile.pl library, but
IMO Mac::StandardFile is in general the way to go.

For selecting folders, though, you need Mac::Navigation or the old GUSI stuff.
