The parameter used ("any" or "text") is not the mac type property of
the file. It's a file type you have to define in RB.
You define a new file type set (in RB 5.5 and earlier, it's in the
Edit menu, under "File types"; in recents versions, it seems to be in
the "Project" menu, under the "Add" submenu, "New file type set").
After adding a file type set, fill the informations (name, mac type,
mac creator, extension, etc.), use the name you entered for the file
type set in the parameter of the GetOpenFolderItem.
Hope this helps.

What is wrong with this REALbasic statement:
Dim FileToDump As FolderItem
FileToDump = GetOpenFolderItem("any")
When I execute this command, all files are greyed out and
I cannot open any file. I have also tried with
Dim FileToDump As FolderItem
FileToDump = GetOpenFolderItem("text")
with the same result, even though the files definitely
have the "TEXT" file type and the file ending ".txt".
I also tried:
Dim FileToDump As FolderItem
FileToDump = GetOpenFolderItem("Application/text")
again with the same result, all files are greyed out!
Where can I find documentation of the allowed values
of the Filter parameter to GetOpenFolderItem. All
I can find in the documentation are examples,
all of them referring to non-text files.
