I need to correct my own post. I meant to say I set the
systemFileSelector to "false" in order to use Livecode's built-in file
selector, but it's the much friendlier "system" file selector, not
Livecode's built-in file selector, that I'm trying to duplicate and
customize. Sounds like a pretty tall order. Any ideas?
