Win 3.1 style FileOpenDialog

[CyberSlug]

Try it out

- You might have to triple-click the folder in the list before it changes

- Wildcards in the filename inputbox are not supported

- The label showing the full path gets truncated without showing an ellipsis

- There might be other issues. I was just playing around with GuiSendMsg(...,LB_DIR,...)

- Don't complain about lack of comments or descriptive control names
