PICKFILE function on Mac OS? [message #3702]

I have an application under Unix that I am trying to port to the Mac. I
use PICKFILE all over the place to select files for both input and output.

On the Mac, PICKFILE allows me to choose existing files, but there is no
text input field for entering the name of a *new* file, and because a new
file is not in the list of existing files, it is impossible to choose one.

A quick look at the PICKFILE code reveals that on the Mac, idl just calls
a Mac OS routine to perform the PICKFILE function, so it would seem
impossible to modify the behavior of the PICKFILE widget.

Has anybody got a solution to this problem?
