  Here's some code that I use to do it:

  procedure GetChooserName(var theString :        Str255);
  const
    ChooserNameID   =       -16096;
  var
    TempString      :       StringHandle;
  begin
    TempString := GetString(ChooserNameID);
    theString := TempString^^;
  end;    {GetChooserName}

>Thanks.

  Hope this helps.
