There's no mechanism for putting an extended control (like a pop-up menu
control) into a Standard File dialog, but you *can* put a userItem in
there which you manuall draw to -look- just like a pop-up control.  When
the user clicks on it, you can call PopUpMenuSelect and give it a menu
(which is what the pop-up control defproc would have done anyway), and
the user will never know the difference.
