A simple way is to make a copy of the SF{Pu/Ge}tFile dialog (the
details of all the DITL items are in IM-I), add an outline and then
use SFPPutFile/SFPGetfile with your new dialog ID.

The border drawing has been discussed here recently.  Three approaches
are:

1. A user item with some code that draws the outline.
2. A PICT with the outline in it (less flexible, but requires no code
   and is automatically updated for you)
3. Default CDEF (available free from sumex - recommended)

Hope this helps
