The approved basic Tk way is to call $widget->getOpenFile(...) 
(or ->getSaveFile(...))

There are then various options to that which get you various styles 
of dialog. Mainly FileSelect, FBox, (or on Win32 the Native widget).

As I recall FileDialog is yet another one ... which I didn't like 
all that much, but can't remember why.
