Try _OpenFileDialog you can navigate your computer just like Windows File Explorer.
EDIT: Here is demo
Code: (Select All)
_ScreenMove 400, 400
title$ = "Select File for Viewing"
path$ = _CWD$ ' use the Current Working Directory
fPattern$ = "*.bas|*.txt"
fPattermDescrip$ = "Files that are viewable"
_Delay .2 ' let window set itself up then call OpenFile... yep!
selectedPathedFileName$ = _OpenFileDialog$(title$, path$, fPattern$, fPattermDescrip$)
Print selectedPathedFileName$
