I tried it again and it worked. I don't know what happened before. It wasn't the usual shadowing problem; I checked ??FileBrowse and found it in the System context. Oh, wait! That's the problem!! Before, I loaded the package and then used FileBrowse[]. That still doesn't work; you have to use the qualified name, even if you've loaded the Experimental package. It's a little odd that System`FileBrowse exists and does nothing, though.

After I maneuver around and select a file, I have to "Save" it. Of course, I don't really want to Save anything. Then I get a message saying the file already exist and do I want to save anyway. Of course I don't, but I answer Yes anyway. Then it returns the file path name and, in fact, doesn't save anything. But, the method of operation does not fill one with confidence!
