This will certainly work, but I want to point out that this sort of
thing is considered to be in bad taste, interface-wise. The user is
doing what they're doing, and it's presumptuous and rude to suddenly
jump in their face yammering on about how they need to choose a file
*right now*.
Of course, this only applies if you plan to give your script to someone
else. If it's purely for your own use, you can do whatever you darn
well please.
