Strange...doesn't it pop the file selector for you? Anyway, what you

Well, the prompt actually says "Emacs C source dir:", so perhaps it's
okay (although maybe something like "Directory of fileio.c source
file" would be better).

The latter. It pops a dialog saying
Current Directory
File not found
Please verify the correct file name was given.

You mean the MUSTMATCH arg to x-file-dialog? That is, should I change
the code so that this flag is ignored for directories?
