Yeah, I found this out when I was writing a program for Psychology researcher
on his Macintosh. Since the users of the program would bexDxD subjects of
the test, rather than an average Mac user, it needed to instruct the subject
at most stages of the test. So, to get around the lack of a prompt string
in SFGetFile, I simply inserted a dialog item into SFGetFile, via the SF
dialog filter procedure. Thus I was simply doing what I expected SFGetFile
to handle automatically.
