I have plans to add an interface to the newer Common Item Dialog which is
the Vista / Windows 7 version of the open / save file dialog.

I'm not sure if that supports what you want or not

I will probably just leave the existing FilnNameDialog alone

Is this a sample we distribute with ooRexx?  If you give me the name so I
can look at it, I'll try to support what you want with the Open Item
Dialog.  Which it already may do.  Open Item Dialog is similar to the
browse for folder I just did, as it is also a COM object.  It may be an
extension or enhancement of the UserAccounts.CommonDialog.

Yeah, you should.  ;-)  If you can attach a small example to the RFE that
demonstrates what feature from the UserAccounts.CommonDialgo you would like
to see, that would help.

Since the UserAccounts.CommonDialog and the Open Item Dialog are both
implemented through COM, I'm  guessing they have similar features.
