I'm not doing filetypes the same as the runtime.  It builds a list of 
file types by filling in a block of data with the file types and 
passing that to FN NavChooseFile.

I'm using FN NavGetFile which is very similar.  What I'm really doing 
different is I'm using FN GetResource ( _"open", 128 ) to get the 
list of readable documents.  The translation manager seems to take 
care of the names in the pop-up menu.  Both methods are mentioned in 
Inside Mac, I don't think one is preferred over the other.

P.S. I've got a lot of these cool things working, it's all appearance 
savvy, it's all toolbox though.  What I can't seem to get working is 
messing up blocks of data I have in pointers or handles.  I always 
crash with pointers not pointing to valid blocks or master pointers 
messed up in the process manager.

Oh well, it looks good ;-)
