Is there a way to specify a starting path (i.e., MacHD:MyFiles:)

The alternative command "display selector" from Akua Sweets should do it.
display selector: Set the starting point for the next file selector (not
Navigation Services), optionally choosing a file/folder.
display selector
[from file specification] -- The starting point for this (or the
next) file selection - only in the Application told to do this.
[of type list] -- restrict the files shown to only these file
types (up to 4 for traditional)
[with prompt string] -- Show a file selector and let user choose
where it should go (like 3Choose file2, except our Nav Services is
growable).
[for type class] -- What you want to choose: file/folder/volume
[multiple choices boolean] -- Allow multiple items to be selected
[navigation services boolean] -- Default is TRUE (i.e. use them if
available)
[invisibles boolean] -- Should invisible files be included
(default FALSE).
[Result: alias] -- The object(s) chosen if a prompt is provided.
