Re: GetOpenFilename

[David Botton <David@Botton.com>]

There is an example of using the GetOpenFileName function on the Ada
Source Code Treasury:

The example is located under the OS section:

Using the Open File Common Dialog Box

There are many other examples there that you may find of interest. New
examples are always on the hunt, so let me know if you have any thing
interesting.
