selecting a directory

Hello,

Similar to how "ask file" allows a user to select a file, is there a
built-in way of allowing users to select a directory? If not, is there a
user-friendly alternative? I was looking at the "file selector" substack,
but the ".." higher-level symbol is sure to scare people off.

The reason for needing the directory rather than a specific file is for a
stack that manipulates images. After a user selects whichever directory
they've put their jpg/gif files, those file names will be automatically
displayed in a clickable list of names.

Thanks.

Cheers,

Nicolas Cueto

P.S. Thank you, too, for the lesson about the CR vs LF end-of-line
difference. Of the various kind advice offered, I went with the "get a new
text editor" option. A 2-year Win-to-Linux mystery resolved!
