- In my opinion, you'd be better off using SFGetFile if the user chooses to
- append to an existing file. After all, if the user wishes to append to
- an existing file, it would be better to let the user select the file from
- the scrolling list of files, rather than having to type in the name.

- This would require a greater distinction between creating and appending a
- file as far as your interface is concerned, which I would recommend
- anyway. It's less confusing to the user.
