To take it one step further.  Holding Shift down while choosing Open from
file menu should present you with Open... even if something is already
selected.  What I would like to see if a full UNIX filename resolution
in the SFGetFile dialog, possibly with another button.  You should be
able to choose an intial set of fils, add files to it (with Shift) etc..

Lets remake finder in our own image...
