The prompt in the SFGetFile call is a "historical" feature. The prompt field
(a statText dialog item) is not visible in the standard SFGetFile dialog.
Using the SFPGetFile call, and a custom dialog, you can use the prompt feature
if you wish, but in this case you can add custom text of your own directly to
the dialog instead, which I think is nicer (the text is in the resource, rather
than in your code).
