Just a file dialog ?

Question

hi, how can i select a directory using "file dialog" function in "windowsNT"
environment ?
non of the options allows to select a directory, just open it.
the file dialog for w98 has a button to select the directory ,"select
current directory ".
but for windowsNT, it doesn't exist
thanx.

Answer 1

to point out the obvious, you could have the user select a file int he
directory, then strip the path...
not beuatiful, but functional
