I think what Skip is asking for is solved by putting a callback on the internal
list so that the selected item is returned to the application.

The current version of Jan Newmarch's FAQ for comp.windows.x.motif reads:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Subject: 42)+ What's wrong with the Motif 1.0 File Selection Box?  I can't set
the directory, change the directory or get the file mask to work.

Answer: The 1.0 File Selection Box is broken, and these don't work.  They
weren't fixed until Motif 1.04.  Switch to Motif 1.1 where it changed a lot.
