Thanks to everyone for their inputs.

I take it from all this that the deprecated NavChooseFile and NavPutFile
don't just call the new APIs internally, as I originally figured they
probably did. So I'm taking a shot at learning the new APIs.

Right now I'm building/testing under OS 9.2 and I find that although
NavGetDefaultDialogCreationOptions does indeed set up
kWindowModalityAppModal as the default as the doc says, I am getting a fully
modal dialog. My event proc ptr is NULL but the doc says that's ok unless I
want a modeless or window-modal dialog.

Any ideas why kWindowModalityAppModal is not working?
