I like it fine.  I remember seeing some cample code for a StandardGetFolder
or somesuch, and had been pondering something similar if I ever got a round
tuit.  Integration into the StandardFile module sounds great to me, unless
someone can come up with a reason not to do it.  As long as there's no real
problem with it, I see no reason not to include it in 5.6.1r2 (which is
being held up to get other bugfixes in, relating to GUSI etc.).
