	It must be in the docs somewhere and I can't find it. I want
   an OpenPanel to allow the return of a filename which is a directory.
   I don't want the contents of the directory shown when the user 
   selects it. The directory name does have a unique extension.
   How do I do this? (WriteNow does it sometimes... why can't I?)

   Thanks!

First step is to declare your unique filename extension for your app
with the project/attributes like you would for a plain file.   Then
you must install you app in ~/Apps or /LocalApps for it to take
effect.   Then you can go back to debugging your app and the openPanel
should show your directory as if it were a file.

By chance, I happened to do this procedure for the first time this
weekend.
