   One way is to call SFGetFile(), then geting the whole path name
   for the selected file (for example "HD:folder 1:document") and passing
   this string to the fopen() function which will return a FILE *.

Yikes.  How about:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <console.h>
#include <StdFilePkg.h>
#include <pascal.h>

main()
{
    SFReply reply;
    FILE *infile;

    chide(stdout);       /* let console library initialize mac toolbox */
    SFGetFile(0x00300040, "", 0L, -1, 0L, 0L, &reply);
    if (reply.good) {    /* user didn't press cancel... */
        SetVol(0L, reply.vRefNum);   /* use vRefNum/wdRefNum in reply */
        infile = fopen(PtoCstr((char *)reply.fName), "r");
        /* ... */
    }
}

An even easier way would be to use ccommand(), which displays a dialog
that you can use to redirect input at runtime.
