Go to Microsoft Word. Go to File->Open. The window that opens is what I want.

I tried it, but it didn't work. I didn't spend too much time with it, though. I don't know if it's what I want, as I have not yet seen it working.

See, I am making a program that uses pygame. Would it work to perhaps make the file chooser a subprocess? -Dave LeCompte Ian
