Description
-----------

Opens the built-in platform-specific file-browsing dialog, and creates a new File or Folder object for the selected file or folder.

Differs from the object method selectDlg() in that it does not preselect a folder. If the user clicks OK, returns a File or Folder object for the selected file or folder. If the user cancels, returns null.
