This is all very exciting, but what about that file chooser? :D

I think you should re-think the advisability of writing anything that runs
in console mode, whether for DOS or Linux.
DOS is dead, and the few people who enjoy using console programs on Linux
probably will resent anything as 'futuristic' as a file chooser. They
generally prefer typing -options on the command line.

Irv! How could you?!?!
Anyway, for my initial interface, I wanted something simple that anyone
(read: "I") could use quickly and easily. The program I'm writing should
port easily to other UIs.
So, you're sayin' I gotta do it on my own?
