       IC61x includes the hiCreateFileSelectorField which automatically does the things that Quek created with two fields. It includes the same modes as ddsFileBrowseCB. This is example was cut from a program I wrote for a client but the documentation in the UI reference manual is very good.

         lmField = list( hiCreateFileSelectorField(
                     ?name '_LayerMapFile
                     ?prompt "Stream Layer Map"
                     ?mode 'existingFile
                     ?value AEgetLayerMap( geGetEditCellView())
                     ?defValue AEgetDefaultLayerMap( geGetEditCellView())
                     ?callback sprintf( nil "AEgetFormCheckFileExists( %s '_LayerMapFile )" formName )
                     ?editable t
            )
            0:(fieldHeight + fieldSpacing) * row++ fieldWidth:fieldHeight promptWidth)
