dialog lets you select a file from disk.
In

memory files normally have a .MEM extension to the filename, search bank files have
a .SCH extension, auto mode files have a .AUT extension and raw data files have a
.RAW extension. For example, BRITISH.MEM is a file of memory channel data and
DEFAULT.SCH is a file of search bank data. The dialog looks like:

into
the Name field and press Enter to see these file types.
