    SYNOPSIS
           osa_file_browser

    DESCRIPTION
           osa_file_browser is an  osascript  embedded  in  a  shell  script  that
           returns  the  path corresponding to the file selected from the GUI file
           browser.  Its real value lies in being able to incorporate it as a mod-

           tion.
