I'm writing a digital simulator for X and the work is almost done, except
that I would like to use an XmFileSelectionDialog to open and save files.
I guess most of you have written your own "glue" routines to this widget
and I wondering if someone would be willing to share this code with me.

I usually program on the Macintosh, so I would naturally be delighted
to have something that works like the Macintosh standard file
routines.  The save dialog box could take a file name, pop up the
dialog box letting the user make choices and return a flag and the file
name. The boolean flag tells if the user canceled. It looks like Motif
only has one dialog for the two functions.

I used XmCreateFileSelectionDialog(toplevel,"selector",0,0) to create a
dialog. I haven't tried doing anything with it, since it looked like
something a programmer shouldn't have to deal with.

I'll make the digital simulator available when it is ready and if you
want, I can even mention the people who helped me with this.

We only have Motif 1.0.
