Hey guys;
Trying to write up a quick little program here. I've done ok so far, but I've never used the GUI componants. Yes, I've heard that no one likes the Allegro GUI. But I only need one thing from it: The File Dialog box. I figure it's simpler to use an ugly box that's already made than to make one of my own.
Problem is, I haven't a clue how to use it. Can anyone throw me a quick example of getting the GUI box onscreen? I checked the GUI Clinic tutorials but they didn't have anything about it listed there.
Sidenote: If I do need a GUI later, what's everyone's recommendation here?
Thanks!

MASkinG is a good one.
For GUIs look here.
