Thomas,
Here is a reply from a previous inquiry on the same subject.  These classes
were added in beta 0.22.

Charles,

Thanks for the report! I had built the documention in the wrong way, so the
FCFileOpenDialog, FCFolderBrowseDialog, etc didn't get any documentation. I
have now corrected it and uploaded the updated documentation.

The system dialogs are used in this fashion:
---
local d = finale.FCFileOpenDialog(finenv.UI()) 	
-- Set up the dialog parameters here
d:Execute()
---

Subject: [JW Lua] Programmaticall open a Finale file

Dear experts,

if I have the path of a Finale file as a string, how can I make JW Lua open
it?  I see that I can instantiate an FCDocument object, but I have no idea
how to open an existing file.

Any help is much appreciated.
Thomas Weber
