There should be several examples of using Standard File in the DTS Sample Code
that was recently posted to comp.binaries.apple2.

Do you have Apple IIgs Toolbox Reference Volume 3?  Read all about Standard
File in volumes 2 and 3.

The best call for you to use is probably SFGetFile2 or SFMultiGet2, depending
on whether the user is choosing *one* file or possibly a group of files.
