Turns out this was misdocumented: the implementation
calls the -command first, then dismisses the dialog.
Manpage updated to reflect this.

Also, in the current implementation the command can use
'return -code break' or 'return -code continue' to prevent
the dialog from being dismissed.  I left this undocumented
since I'm not sure if it's a good idea; it seems like a bit
of a hairball.  Opinions?

Last but not least:  Schelte Bron has contributed a
*really* nice file selection dialog box.  It's not
integrated into CVS yet, but you can grab a preview from
my work-in-process repository:

The dialog is modelled after KDE's file selector (one of
the best ones around, IMO, even better than the standard
Tk file selector).  Check it out!
