You mean using StandardFile.pm? Er... it doesn't really look like you
can.

But you *can* do it, if you fall back to the older StandardFile.pl.
there's no POD in the file, so just open it in an editor) (or MacPerl)
to see the docs.

You want GetFolder.

	require 'StandardFile.pl';
	$folder = StandardFile::GetFolder("pick a folder:");
	print "Folder: $folder\n" if $folder;

I don't think the "default" parameter ever worked.
