Looks like a command line command to me, will that work in an  
OpenDialog GUI ?  After reading some more about this, I think the way  
to go is with the Authorization API. However, that seems to be more  
appropropriate for processes, not for files in an OpenDialog. Oh  
well, I guess I'll have some more reading to do ;-)
