  Yes, hiding the filesystem is what is going on here.  I personally
don't see that the Journal idea and hiding the filesystem idea have to
always go together, but that is another story.

  What is hidden in Etoys (surprise from this end!) is the "File
Dialog" widget.  Grab Object Catalog, go to Scripting and pull out
File Dialog.  You can import other kinds of files from there.  If the
file is store onto an external USB memory or such, the Journal adds
them to the list (at least when you unplug and plug it.)

  Hold down the "keep menu"?

  Thanks!  I commented on that, too.
