   Inside Macintosh Vol. I, page 523.  "The prompt parameter is ignored; it's
there for historical purposes only."

   The prompt parameter doesn't do anything.  Too bad, it might be useful.
Try throwing a dialog box up first with the message, and then overlap the
SFGet Dialog on top of it so that the message is still visible.
