Scripting Default Folder's scripting addition "SetFileDialogFolder" ...

I'm trying to set the default folder for a choose file or choose folder command in AppleScript. Default Folder comes with a scripting addition which seems as though it should be able to do this. But when I try to set it, I get a parameter error ...

set myFolder to choose folder "Folder?"
SetFileDialogFolder myFolder <<<--- parameter error

... what am I doing wrong here -- or what other simple solutions exist to doing this in Mac OS 9.1?

Thanks,
Harry
