Under Windows 7, there seems to be a bug in J6.02 "fselect": it
ignores its argument of a starting path and appears to initially point
to the most-recently-opened directory according to the file selection
dialog.  So, if I run

   fselect 'C:\foodir\foofile.txt'

but, within the file selection dialog, navigate to
"C:\bardir\barfile.foo' to select that file, the next time I run

   fselect 'C:\foodir\foofile.txt'

the dialog opens in "C:\bardir".
