osa_direc_browser - returns the path matching the directory chosen with the GUI

SYNOPSIS
osa_direc_browser

DESCRIPTION
osa_direc_browser is an osascript embedded in a shell script that returns the path corresponding to the directory (folder) selected from the GUI file browser. Its real value lies in being able to incorporate it as a module for scripting. Here is a simple example cdg, i.e., alias cdg='open "$(osa_direc_browser)"' The command cdg then changes the pwd of the command-line to the directory selected from the GUI.
