Opens a file-dialog and returns the selected filename (or #f if the file-selection has been canceled). PATTERN is a file-pattern that is used to match filenames that can be selected. The following syntax is used by pattern:

*

matches any sequence of 0 or more characters.

?

matches any single character

[set]

matches any character in the set. Set can contain any single characters, or a-z to represent a range. To match ] or - they must be the first characters. To match ^ or ! they must not be the first characters.

[^set]

Matches any character not in the set.

[!set]

Matches any character not in the set.

{X|Y|Z}

Matches any one of the subexpressions literally.

{X,Y,Z}

Matches any one of the subexpressions literally.

\x

Quotes the character x so it has no special meaning.

x

All other characters must be matched exactly.

FILENAME specifies the default filename, if given.
