In a contribution to mathgroup, somebody asserted in 1997 that
userFile=FrontEndExecute[{FrontEndToken["FileNameDialog"]}]
allows the user to input a file name from the Windows file selector box
into a Mathematica variable. (Search in the Archive for the keyword
FileNameDialog; to find this contribution.) However, this does not work
in Mathematica 4.1 (under Windows NT). I guess that it did not work in
3.0 either.
It is true that the file selector box appears, and that the name and path
of the selected file is pasted into the notebook, but the user filename
entry is not transferred into the variable.
Any help will be appreciated.
