Well, I simplified the problem slightly in trying to get over some apparent
communication problems.
For instance, the CFileDialog may be a modal dialog created by
CDocManager::DoPromptFileName (through CDocManager::OnFileOpen) so there's
really no access to the individual dialog controls, to enable reading the
edit box.
Maybe what I need to do is employ some use of ::SHBrowseForFolder, and save
that directory somewhere. Knowing the directory for the shortcut is more of
an 'enhancement' than a requirement, so if it knows the wrong directory then
it (in this instance) would be more of a bother than make it not work right.

That has potential... even if you select the file with the mouse, it puts
the filename in the edit box...
