It sounds like you want Fl_File_Chooser.
See the test/file_chooser example program.
Or, if you want your native OS's file chooser,
use Fl_Native_File_Chooser.
I don't know what Fl_File_Browser is, I've never
needed it. I think it's some low level class that
the Fl_File_Chooser uses to do its thing.

It actually does.. it's just not documented.
The docs want you to use the meta classes
(eg. Fl_XXX_Browser) to access the selection options.
Fl_Browser's default behavior is to literally be
a browser, not a selector, and the docs want you
to use the meta classes to access the different
selection options.
But you can use plain old Fl_Browser, and make it
act like a selector by setting its type(), eg:
Fl_Browser brow(..);
brow.type(FL_MULTI_BROWSER);
..which is I think all that eg. the Fl_Multi_Browser
class does; just inherits from Fl_Browser and initializes
the type() to FL_MULTI_BROWSER.
The other classes that derive from Fl_Browser work
similarly.

Right, they essentially do the above.
