Oh, I see now that Java on the Mac doesn't allow entry of filenames by
keyboard typing in file-open dialog boxes. That's unfortunate.
It boggles my mind why Apple hasn't caught on to the fact that maybe a
file-open box could also be used for input from the web. Sure works nicely
on the PC.
If someone knows how to coerce Java on the Mac to display a file name entry
box, let me know. Othewise I'll have to put up something different for
web-based file entry. I suppose it could be added as a separate text box.
