What would happen is that when you sent the message to Browser it would put
up a menu item under "Requestors" with your title in it. Then when you selected
a file and pulled down that menu it would send the reply back to the program
and take it out of the menu. That way you could pass a filename straight to
the program from the Browser.

And if a customer didn't buy Browser, then they could start up your file
requestor instead.
