	Why do you feel honor-bound to blame the environment for your own
stupid mistakes? In Inside Macintosh, Volume 1, Chapter 20 (The Standard File
Package), it explains the following:

	- if you want to use a custome dialog box with SFGetFile or SFPutFile,
	place it in your resource file with the SAME resource ID as the 
	standard dialogs, and pass in a custom dialog hook.

	- if you want to use a custom dialog box that has a DIFFERENT resource
	id than the standard boxes, you need to use SFPGetFile and SFPPutFile
	(note the extra "P" after SF).

	RTFM before you start pointing fingers.
