$path has the file name and $aSelectedPath{1} contains the full path selected,
but what I am referring to is using an access path number in the directory
parameter so that when the user does something that opens a Select document or
Select folder dialogue again, the last directory they selected is remembered
and the dialogue opens to the remembered directory.
Select document is designed for selecting documents, but the developers had the
foresight to optionally use it like the Select folder function with a file
name. The only way to provide a suggested file name is to include it in the
directory path in the directory path, which is where you would put an access
path number if you wanted a selected path remembered for future use. So you
cannot do both. If the suggested file name were a separate parameter, then you
could do both.
