Description*
This routine puts up a common dialog that prompts the user to select a Freelance presentation to open. If the user selects a file then it creates a Freelance automation session and opens the requested doc. It chops up the name returned from the dialog into file name and path parts for the open command. There may be a more standard way to do this but I couldn't find it.		Type*
